Hi all, I know this has been asked previously but I can't find it in my archives. I'm currently running SuSE 5.3 and just rcv'd. the subscription of 6.1. I intend to backup all the 'config' files and am asking would it be better to do a clean install or just the upgrade? I'd appreciate any feedback. I have visited the suse.de/Support/ site and found it very informative and a lot of 'look out for this', good stuff!
On a different note. Is the same crowd who was complaining about 'too much packaging' the same group that's having problems with the SuSE subscription program? one wonders.........
TIA, Don
Most of the time the upgrade works. For me it failed completely. So make sure you move all critical files to another partition or backup first. So, if the upgrade fails, you can do a clean install.
