    Can one start that with any TW iso or only some specific one?

    With any, I heard. But don't ask me :-)

    Hi
    Yes, then you essentially rollback by the looks when adding the repos,

    I took two runs at it. First I upgraded my Leap installation to TW and
    then did the Slowroll sidetstep, the result was a disater. Then I
    installed the latest clean TW and slid THAT over to a slowroll, that's
    what I'm using now.

    There are a few loose ends, like

    - I don't know how to get LibreWolf.x86_64.AppImage onto the kde panel
    (it launches if I click it)

    - Grub still lists the the system as a Tumbleweed-Slowroll, I thought TW
    was gonna be TW and Slowroll just Slowroll

    - Yast Software manager lists upgrades even though the only repos are
    roller repos (I thought upgrades would be few and far between, I guess
    this is being worked out, I'm using only zypper dup as suggested, yast
    only for installs/removals)

    BUT other than that it's working just fine!

    All I need now is to find a logo, a barrel of monkeys trying to roll
    uphill? (still using my Leap wallpaper https://imgur.com/ekrJUUt.png)

    as soon as I do zypper dup, zypper repopulates /etc/zypp/repos.d

    which I had cleared with rm /etc/zypp/repos.d/*


    ls /etc/zypp/repos.d

    #zypper dup (wait, then break w. Cntrl-C)

    as per the link provided above by Malcolm:

    ------------------------------------
    The same applies when switching from Leap or an older Tumbleweed
    snapshot to Slowroll.

    rm /etc/zypp/repos.d/*

    zypper ar --refresh http://cdn.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/ALP:/Experimental:/Slowroll/base/repo/oss/
    base-oss
    zypper ar --refresh http://cdn.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/ALP:/Experimental:/Slowroll/base/repo/non-oss/
    base-non-oss
    zypper ar --refresh -p 80 http://cdn.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/ALP:/Experimental:/Slowroll/standard/
    update
    zypper ar --refresh --disable http://cdn.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/ALP:/Experimental:/Slowroll/base/repo/src-oss/
    base-src-oss
    zypper ar --refresh http://codecs.opensuse.org/openh264/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ h264
    zypper ar --refresh -p 70 http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Slowroll/Essentials/ packman

    --------------------------------------

    I think the idea was to constrain source repos to the ones shown, if so
    then it isn't working. So far I've watched the folder repopulate and
    just aborted zypper dup ..pending clarification.

    Been @ it for about 2 weeks now, so far not bad

    Here's my SlowRoller watermark desktop, the weird wheel
    hub is the originial slow-roller invented 6000 years ago
    which already had the turning axle we use today :-)

    Would like to know where to set the KDE spashma clock date font
    independently from any other font?
