Hi, Can I upgrade my beta2 via zypper or yast to 10.3?

Wolfgang

PS: I'm not really aware of whether this is the right list but I'm actually not sitting in the factory box so ignore me if this question is way out of line, thank you.

I believe this is possible. Add 10.3 final to your Yast repository, and try to use "System Update"

Would I have to remove repositories like factory or opensuse xgl beforehand? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Remove factory, otherwise you will update to head of factory instead of 10.3 final. Take care that you use the xgl 10.3 repository - and then it should work...

You can use "zypper update -t package" as well.

Thanks.

Note these are "unsupported" ways to update which have not really been tested,

Are there supported ways? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Someone else's luck may vary, but I have upgraded 3 x86_64 boxes by that method, 1 from 10.2 and the other 2 from Beta2. Regards Sid.

I updated a x86_64 from alpha6 to gm by booting from DVD and choosing update. This left grub in a state, where it does not boot and I couldn't repair with Rescue System and Repair from the DVD. This is probably caused by the fact, that I used xfs as / and have no separate /boot. -- Andreas Vetter Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

All my systems are configured that way, but with ext3 and reiserfs. I did have a similar problem with grub after I removed a failing IDE drive and booted off a new SATA one. I was pointed here and to the Ubuntu wiki by guys on the list http://linuxbraindump.org/2007/08/17/restoring-grub, hopefully this will provide a solution to your grub problem.
