How to upgrade mono on openSuse

Question

I have a virtual machine running of openSuse 11.2 that has mono 2.6.4, I use this VM as a test server to test asp.net applications under Apache mod_mono.

I wanted to upgrade (in the same virtual machine) to mono 2.8.2. I downloaded several rpm files from http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/openSUSE_11.2/i586/ but I'm in a dependency "loop", don't know which package to install in the correct order...

(Did I mention that I know very little of suse?)

Edit: Is it possible to find a way to upgrade it without network connectivity?

Thanks!

Go to this page at opensuse.org and click "1-Click Install" button on mono-complete-2.8.2 meta package. Then all your loop dependencies will be solved automatically by YaST manager.

It is a usual user-friendly way to install packages on openSuSE.
