Hello;
I found a mirror that downloaded in two hours and I then burned an image (on my Mac).
Good! :-)
Any suggestions?
An upgrade is more complicated than a new install, and more so if it is not to the next version; you need experience and knowledge to solve the possible problems you find. Typically I would say to do a full backup and try. If it fails, recover from backup. and install fresh instead, or retry. In your case, I think it is not safe for you. You can tell it to install on top of an older install, and it may pick up some information from it, like layout or accounts. If you have a separate /home partition, you can keep it untouched. If it is on the same partition as root, it has to be formatted. If you are installing on a Mac, I can not guide you, sorry (no experience with it). If it is on a PC, you can use grub 2 (default) or one. I don't know if Lilo is supported, i think not, or not completely. In any case, do prepare a full backup, just in case. Better waste time than be sorry later: any system install is a dangerous operation. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
