I've seen only a few posts on successful upgrades from 10.0 to opensuse 10.2, anyone have any further experiences/words of wisdom before I "take the plunge"?

Yes, I do have a complete backup made in case it goes foobar.

Hi,

I just went ahead and did it a couple of days ago. In fact, I did NOT upgrade my DELL laptop (M90 Precision), I just installed it over SuSE10 - but WITHOUT formatting my /home partition. It worked flawlessly well.

I then re-installed, either from old downloads or new ones, a few of my very much used programmes, i.e. zend, datafold and others.

The only hitch I had was smbmount not being there. This list advised me to use cifs instead to mount my VPN remote samba shares. That worked perfectly fine too.

YMMV though :-)

The upgrade went extremely_smoothly! Better than anything from Microsoft. It did delete some programs I had installed myself like ncftp client but re-installing those was trival. Also, had to reinstall mplayer and update w32codecs so I could play mp3's. Looking good so far. Smart-gui isnt working well so I'm just using yast to install software from sources. No problems there. --Karl __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

So far I have updated two machines from 10.1 to 10.2. Everything worked pretty much flawlessly, except I had to perform the upgrade in text mode. The only big headache I had was getting a set of repositories together for the packages I use for 10.2 - now that that is done, using smart works great, and I have been able to upgrade everything I use. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Apart from that I discovered that smbfs is gone from the kernel and samba share mounting has to to be done with mount.cifs instead of smbmount. Took some googling...

smbfs is still in the 2.6.18 & 2.6.19 kernel sources, so if you get tripped up by cifs brokenness, you can recompile with smbfs enabled. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace."
