Hi all,

What is the recommended way to move from openSUSE 13.2 to Leap 42?
I would like to ask a similar question:
Has anyone tried to go from 13.1 to Leap without installing 13.2 first ?
Most of my machines are running 13.1, and if it works I would like to skip 13.2, if possible...

First: Never ever try a "online distro upgrade" aka "zypper dup" for such a two version step. At best it will seem to work and fail later.
Second: Backup FIRST. No Jokes. Any information you need later (user homes, personal files outside $HOME, /etc/*, configs outside /etc) all that on a media that will be disconnected and in an other room during upgrade, first update/patch, and first config to personal taste.
Third: Get the full install-media, or a lokal mirror of the online rpm tree. Your internet connection will never be good enough for a net-install otherwise, and idle hands during install cause trouble.
Fourth: Please, do yourself and all of us a favour and read the release notes before trying to install, there are some gotchas.
Fifth: Boot the install media of Leap 42.1, take care to boot with uefi if you want to use it later, its not worth the hassle to work around the issues later, a reboot from falsly selected bios install into wanted uefi install is much faster and safer.
In the installer select: "update installed system" (or whatever that is in your language)
And work from there, maybe re-format your partitons (attention data loss)
Have a nice weekend, - Yamaban.
The safer way is to install through 13.2, ie swap your repos to 13.2 zypper dup, then swap to 42.1 and zypper dup again. Cheers Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
