I'm trying to update this to 9.2 using the Yast System Update. I thought it would go like: add the FTP source with Yast Change Source of Installation and then go to System Update. But no. Different things happen:
Suggestion - download the whole FTP-version (use wget), then run the update process with the distro NFS mounted.
No room (old computer, small HD). I was able to get it (by juggling the FTP installation sources on and off and changing their order) to start update. But it didn't go as planned. For 4 hours it did download a lot of stuff and install it. After that I rebooted and was greeted with the new Novel splash. But after that... no X! Only command line :-( Now I'm stuck there. I even tried to update (from text yast) the system to minimum 9.2 system with KDE. Again some installation happened. But still, the X doesn't start. I am that much Linux newbie that only thing left for me is to download the ISO for the CD1 at another computer and then do a clean installation of that. It was never a good option to try to update windows versions... I guess I should have known this. (Although, with SuSE one has to update always as the older versions are not supported - one point where MS is still ahead.) I'll try to get the CD some time next week. Before that I'm stuck with Win2K (dual boot). -- HG
