Well , I would normally do it via CD but I thought I would give the online update a try since it's mentioned on the http://news.opensuse.org/?p=400#more-400 as a way to update your system.
I'm sorry but it doesn't say anything of the sort. The phrase "Online Update" doesn't appear anywhere in the story, but to go over what it says: "As always, you can fully upgrade your previous openSUSE 10.2 to the final version of openSUSE 10.3 by simply downloading one of the media options and burning it to disk, boot to it, and then select the Upgrade option in the installer. For the smoothest possible upgrade, leave the “Add Online Repositories Before Installation” option checked." This quite explicitly mentions that if you want to upgrade _from 10.2_, then you'll have to "[download] one of the media options and burning it to disk, boot to it, and then select the Upgrade option in the installer." I'm not sure that the paragraph is really unclear at all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
