[opensuse-factory] RC1
Has anyone tried using the update for installing RC1? I have 11.0 beta3 installed and want to do RC1 without total reinstall if possible. I looked at the delta iso but I apparently deleted beta 3 iso but mistake so i don't have it and I understand I would need it for the delta version to work. Is this correct? -- Russ Linux register user 441463 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I have. But on a virtual machine only. On that vm I had the normal Packman stuff, multimedia worked fine. I also had had Apache/MySQL/Php. Amarok configured to use MySQL The Amarok database was dumped from my real machine. I had PhpMyadmin, too. They all worked fine. Then I went: #zypper ref #zypper dup -l Taht's it. Everyhting worked fine :) -- Vahis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Rc1 is not a release. All the way from alphas via betas to rc is a continuous chain of changes. They are all 11.0, just not released and under development, snapshots of factory at given times. If you keep going with zypper dup you'll end up with the release. Then you need to change the repos to point to 11.0, otherwise you'll have 11.1 factory again :) I had saved a snapshot of the original installation of beta3 which I updated. So I got hundreds of packages (over 800 I think). You obviously updated a system which already had almost everything updated from the factory repos? I had waited for the RC1 and the frozen factory repos to do the update. -- Vahis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I had waited for the RC1 and the frozen factory repos to do the update. Thanks. I had been doing updates all along fron YaST ->online update->package groups. So i must be up todate. I'm waiting for the final release so I can get rid os some problems with 10.3 (shutdown) 11.0 works.
Thanks again for your help. I'll learn all this stuff someday. I use GUI's but am also comfortable with command line. Thats all we had in the old days of assembler and machine language control. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

That is correct, you need the B3 iso to apply the delta iso against. If you burned it to DVD just extract it from the DVD. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
