«Starting with openSUSE 11.2, a live upgrade from the prior version is officially supported.»
It says "from the prior version". It should be clearer, but it is there :-}
Right... You help prove my point, which is that this is pathetically inadequate.
The fact that nobody seems to care does not inspire confidence...
Amazing. Please assume *responsibility*. It is not the world's fault that you fail[ed] to read the release notes. Or even the multitude of posts in this forum where it has been *repeatedly* announced that while sometimes an upgrade beyond the next version is successful, it is not recommend or supported. You *do* read where you post?
It is *your* own fault, assume the blame!
I have always accepted complete responsibility - after all, the software is free and you get what you pay for, right? That was never the issue. The point I'm trying to make: I don't know who is in charge of the openSUSE project's "mission" or whatever (I'm just a lowly user), but if the goal is to be a distribution where you have to be in a special club and know all the secrets to be successful, then let's keep doing what we're doing. On the other hand, if the goal includes doing things to attract new users who are not already openSUSE experts, the project has a problems. In particular, allowing people to perform upgrades that leave their systems unbootable - even if they are so outrageous as to not read the release notes - is not helping that cause. -Archie -- Archie L.
