Hi. I'm looking at migrating our RedHat 9 systems to SUSE 10. I assume there's been plenty of discussion, and maybe a FAQ or HOWTO on doing so (WITHOUT wiping existing filesystems), and I'd appreciate a pointer to those.
Depends on what you mean by "(WITHOUT wiping existing filesystems)". Direct migration from RH9 to SUSE10 is not really possible as both distros keep files in different places. Best bet is to export and backup and databases you have and archive/printout any configs you think you may need and of course do a complete system backup just in case.
Here's another idea: buy a second hard drive. That's what I did during my upgrade last month. Newegg sold me a 300 GB SATA drive (16MB buffer) for about $130. I put my new system on the new drive while keeping the old system on the old drive. In the next few days, I migrated what I needed from the old to the new. Hope this helps, Buddy Coffey Advanced Electromagnetics
