Hello,
I have 9.2 installed on a Dual Opteron and want to upgrade to 9.3. Has anyone had any success with upgrading? Curious to see if anyone has had any good results before I scrub the OS and do a fresh install.
I had some GRUB blues on my Thinkpad (not AMD64 but this seems not to be a 64 specific issue) and am running LILO now. Everything else worked fine. The beta OOo coming with 9.3 is unusable, though, it keeps crashing every other minute, and it displays PPT files like shit. Insofar 9.2 was way better. Maybe I'll install the most recent 1.3 OOo on the box. USB recognition is different from 9.2. 9.2 created the mountpoint for my memory stick as /media/usb-07..... sonething, and 9.3 creates /media/MEMORYSTICK which corresponds with the VFAT partition name. While this is certainly more sensible than /media/goobledigook, it potentially breaks some shell scripts. What bugs me is that 9.3 takes even longer to boot than 9.2, and 9.2 was way slower than 9.1. --
