Yeah, that sounds like it, but here are some points:
1. if you can't upgrade a running system (Debian can, most others can) without BOOTING FROM THE CD or DVD, then why does YaST have the option available?
You can add other installation sources that provide newer (but non-core) packages like
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3/yast-source
And than use this YaST2 module to update all available packages.
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the "System Upgrade" option/component of YaST. It's sole purpose is to upgrade the entire system (say, from 9.2 to 9.3), and despite no warnings or problems encountered along the way, apparently, it doesn't /quite/ work. That's fun! -- Carpe diem - Seize the day. Carp in denim - There's a fish in my pants! Jon Nelson <jnelson-suse@jamponi.net>
