You Nailed it. Gave her opensuse so I wouldn't have to run over there and de-virus her machine every week.
As for zypper dup, point Aunt Nellie here: http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage and watch her never speak to you again. Wait... Hmmmmmm...
My Kubuntu popped up a window asking If I wanted to upgrade to 9.10. Since I use it as a test platform, I had nothing to lose, and clicked yes.
Worked perfectly. (And I mean PERFECTLY!). Not once in all the years of using any flavor of suse since 7.3 has that ever worked as sweet as it did in Kubuntu.
And why does everyone sing the praises of Yast and in the same breath talk about a command line package manager?
Because "Yast wagon" is very new, and few people know about it. http://en.opensuse.org/Wagon But it exists, it works, and it is officially supported as an upgrade method for 11.2. I can see it becoming the standard upgrade tool in 8-months if we bugzilla and feature request it enough. ie. look at the above page. Way too many steps using too many tools. Wagon should encapsulate the whole process in my mind. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
