Thanks. I definitely did check the SuSE Store 8.1 Upgrade description. I remember reading the part you quote, but -without- the part "from scratch". Why else would I go through the trouble of emailing SuSE? Anyway, thanks DJ. I still need to have a little talk with that SuSE representative though... On Thursday 14 November 2002 17:34, DJ wrote:
Interesting. I was told that the only difference between SuSE Linux 8.1 Profession and SuSE Linix 8.1 Profession Update were the lack of manuals --- otherwise they are the same. I was reminded of this earlier, too.
I found the following at the SuSE store, which also indicates you can do an install from scratch.
snippet: --------------------------------------------------------------------- "This product is only recomended for users of SuSE 8.0 products. Upgrading from older versions is possible but not guaranteed, in which case you can install 8.1 from scratch." --------------------------------------------------------------------- http://store.suse.com/dr/v2/ec_MAIN.Entry10?xid=40017&SP=10023&PN=1&V 1=437746&DSP=&CUR=840&PGRP=0&CACHE_ID=61326
