I just upgraded my AMD64 system from 9.1 to 9.2 and ran into a couple of issues that are irritating. 1) when yast goes to perform an update right after network check, it pre-selects a mirror that cannot be changed. I am in California, it always pre-selects UCLA which always fails. I have never ever been able to connect to that mirror, SuSE should either remove it from the mirror list or allow the user to select the mirror during the install process. 2) the upgrade refused to install gimp, the error message indicated that the md5 checksum was bad. I initially assumed there must be a media problem, but after the upgrade, I was able to go back to yast and add gimp with no problem. What's with that? 3) During the upgrade there is a reboot performed. That reboot must fire up the xwindow system and maybe even kde, I'm not sure, but there was a long long period of time where all that I had was a black screen with a busy hourglass icon and no disk activity light or dvd activity light. Frankly, I thought the system might be locked up or something, it lasted at least 3 minutes until yast and the continuation of the upgrade screen came on. If there was a warning about this somewhere I sure didn't see it. Were I slightly more impatient, I would have assumed the system was hosed and rebooted. 4) I was surprised by the way the perl upgrade from 5.8.3 on 9.1 to 5.8.5 on 9.2 was handled. Apparently, none of the modules installed from CPAN under 9.1 were carried over to 5.8.5. This is real painfull, anyone have any idea on how to painlessly update the 5.8.5 installation with the same set of modules that were present in the 5.8.3 installation? BTW, this was my first upgrade experience. Other than the couple of surprises I mentioned, it was relatively painless.
