Yep, been there done that on my laptop. It removed some files before installing the new ones, so perhaps some of the ULB files may get replaced, but you would want to update ULB for 9.0 in any case. All my config files, /home, /root etc. remained intact. A very straightforward upgrade. I also have a friend who did an upgrade on his PC from 8.1 to 8.2 when it came out and he's now done the 9.0 upgrade successfully. I would advise backing up your critical files, just in case you should need them - burn to a CD or rsync to another machine or hard drive. Regards Sid. Serge Naggar wrote:
Hi, has anybody upgraded 8.2 to 9.0 with no trouble? or had to install 9.0 fresh?
I have used the ulb for upgrades to Mozilla, Evolution, Gaim, so those are not the SUSE direct versions if that makes a difference.
In the past I have gone the route of fresh install but I wonder if I'm complicating my life with little to show for it.
Ideas welcome.
thanks
