Has anyone done an upgrade from SuSE 9.3 to 10 yet? How was the experience, did it work? do i need to watch out for anything?
How did you upgrade?
(Boot from the 10 CD and select upgrade, or run YaST from within 9.3) I used YAST from within 9.3 to updrade both an AMD64 & 32 bit box.
Worked fine apart from the multimedia aspects noted in some other e-mails, the proprietary NVIDIA driver wasn't running + YOU did NOT recognise that I was running 10 (it thought I was still running 9.3). As per the support database http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/10/thallma_you_oldpatches.html To fix the last problem I just copied /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DESCRIPTION/description to /var/adm/YaST/ProdDB/prod_00000001 and restarted (all OK). But, as the support article says, it is probably smart to boot from the CD/DVD prior to running the upgrade. Trevor B
