I purchased 8 sometime ago and rather enjoy linux. I have maintained the upgrads via YaST. As I live in Canada, and probably won't see 8.1 on the self for at least another 2-3 months, the reviews of 8.1 have my curiosity juices flowing. I have read the documentation to upgrade from the SuSE site, however upon deeper investication in the /doc files, I find that I cannot upgrade via ftp as I use ADSL-high speed modem. I created a boot cd from the site, and migrated the entire 8.1 contents and files to my c:/temp/8.1 directory on my hard drive that I share XP with SuSE. I have tryed various things from 'installing' the vfat modules and c:/temp/8.1 set up, but when I go to 'install' and chose 'harddrive' I get nowhere. What help can anyone offer if any. Or have I barked up the wrong tree? Thanks in advance. Gord
