Hi Steven,
Actually, it turns out it wants the /boot partition at
first. I got that resolved.
Now it wants the path to where the distibution is
location. On my machine I have custom paritioning so
the distribution is located, for example, at:
/dev/hda7 -> /home,
and 7.3 is in: /home/suse/7.3
Now Yast2 needs to know that /home is /dev/hda7
and then I can specify the path. In short, I am not
sure how to correctly tell Yast2 where the 7.3
packages
are?
Please help.
Thanks,
Babu

I believe that it is actually asking you for the root filesystem of the system you want to upgrade, not the location of the 7.3 packages.
When you're logged into your machine in its regular mode, type ``df /''.
You'll get output looking like: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdc3 396500 108298 267720 29% /
This means, on my system, that the root filesystem (/) is mounted on /dev/hdc3.

2. At some point I managed to get to the point of specifying the 7.3 location on my harddrive and
it
asks for a partition only. I assume one is to provide a full path to the directory where the 7.3 is. I am not sure of the syntax. It wants an entry like /dev/xxx so how does one change that to a full path like /home/download/suse/7.3? Whatever I had specified for partition it ALWAYS said cannot mount partition and there was no way to abort so one had to hard power down.
3. After several aborted attempts to upgrade to 7.3 I rebooted my machine back in 7.1 and somehow it came up in run level 3 only! I had the inittab set to run level 5 for a long time and somehow this got modified?
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Please help!
Thank you.
Babu
