To those who've been playing around with 10.0, has SUSE made the improvements necessary to be able to upgrade from 9.3 to 10.0, or do you still need to do a fresh install? Thanks! Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft. We have no bugs in our software, Never! We do have undocumented added features, that you will find amusing, at no added cost to you, at this time.
As a relative novice I downloaded the 5 cds for 10 RC1. How do I make the first iso bootable ( or is that a silly question ? ). What I have is 5 discs each with an iso burned directly to it. Unfortunately they were burned in xp ( my linux laptop died and I don't want to put 9.1 on to the replacement ). TIA F

F The CD's need to burned with special "ISO" option.
Look at the cd's, if there is a single file called xxxx.iso then you burned them wrong. If there are many many files then you burned them correctly... Jerry

The *.ISO desigantion is an 'image' tag. In most Windows CD/DVD burning software programs there should be the option to burn from an image or image file. This is where the *.iso comes in. You need to select that file and burn this to disk. It sounds complicated but it is really very easy. What software are you using? It's possible that somebody here also uses similar and can give you more detailed instructions. If it's Nero then I should be able to help and it's very, very easy in Nero by the way :-) -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Take care.

I burned the 5 cds in winxp myself an then put the 1st cd in my dvd drive an it booted an let me install it. that was all there was to it.

The first (and probably second) disks should be bootable.

I did exactly that and it went really well. Be sure to upgrade the changed packages with apt. And you'll need the usual manual interventions to listen to mp3, watch dvd's or windows video files, and audacity does not work (wrong wxGTK versions). fx
