Hi,
I've never done an upgrade installation before on any of my SuSE installations. This time, because I installed Alpha5 on a brand new machine that is not (yet) mission critical, I was thinking of trying an upgrade.
My question is: How do I do this? Do I use the YaST "System Update" from the running system? Do I boot from the Beta1 DVD and install over the existing system? Something else?
I launched the YaST "System Update" module with the Beta1 DVD in the drive. After moment of "analyzing..." it told me the product on the installation media was not compatible with the running system. I told it to continue and the initial installation proposal lists:
- 1389 packages to update - 26 packages to install - 2 packages to remove
On the "Update Options" page it says "Update from Non-Linux system to ? ?". (For the record, I have a mostly stock 10.2 Alpha5 installation running.)
I would file this as a bug in bugzilla.
If I proceed with this, am I likely to have problems?
I hope not - but this is a path we do not test in general, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
