[opensuse-factory] Upgrading to M8 from ISO
Is it possible to take an existing 11.1 installation and upgrade to 11.2 M8 by simply using the M8 DVD ISO as an installation/upgrade source? If so, how? Also, anyone done this and seen any issues with the upgrade? Is clean installation preferred?

try zypper dup instead, but I dont see why upgrade with the DVD will fail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I would just install fresh, and add a clean /home, *or* just a new user. Than you can see the changes that have been made. (Keep your old /home handy) I tried upgrades many times, but do not like 'leftovers' from old installs, that do not belong there. Sometimes things do not work the way they should, and than it is more difficult to debug.

Yes, that's the traditional way of updating: * boot from the DVD * choose update Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
