This is pretty much untested right now, but you're free to try and report bugs.

Well, it was not that hard ;-) After fixing inst-sys (since otherwise it is not possible to use the update proposal and if there was a dependency conflict, it was not possible to continue - known already fixed bug) the upgrade went smoothly. The fun came afterwards - all users from /etc/passwd were lost - some packages (eg. pam_mount) were missing (had to take them from factory and then had really fun with my encrypted home) - networkmanager doesn't work for me (dhcpcd is my friend :-) ) - /etc/init.d/kbd manages to freeze boot (I removed it from init scripts) anyway, as you see, I can work again :-) Jiri -- Regards, Jiri Srain YaST Team Leader --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: jsrain@suse.cz Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 959 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz

(why is that?) Ah! and that must have been the reason my 10.3 install did not get the kdeconf after login in!
