Is it possible to update from 7.1 to 8.1??
I have a linux box (SuSE 7.1). My attempt here is trying to update my linuxbox to SuSE 8.1 which I downloaded to the hard drive from FTP site. But it does not let me update the version from the directory that files are located by saying "Can not find the image. Check the directory specification" under source medium selection.
I would understand that the image file has to be created at first if this was the fresh installation but this is only the version update from 7.1 to 8.1.
Is there any web-site that describe how to update the version from 7.1 to 8.1? There is not enough procedures or description when it comes to updating
So what do you suggest I should do? Update my 7.1 1 by 1?? Even in that case, is there any site that walk through version update?

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Shinichi
Forget it. There is no way from 7.1 to even 8.0. In fact, so much has been changed between 7.3 to 8.0, that SuSE decided not to bother with it, although the boot.iso file appears to support it in the beginning. I wish that SuSE should be much more clear about what the boot.iso file can really do rather than making impressive splashes. Regards, G. H. S.
