I had been waiting for Leap 42.2 to become available as a base in SuseStudio, before leaving 42.1, but it still isn't there. Guess I have to use the regular ISO instead of updating my personalized version. (I wonder if Suse is gradually pulling the plug on SuseStudio? It also has had login issues for months with no responses from maintainers).
