I think I already know what the answer is, but because my manager is being
pushy, what is the recommended way to upgrade?
Given an existing SuSE 6.4 system with a reasonable amount of non-rpm
software packages installed and a fair amount of post-installation
customization, would it be simpler (in the long run) to stick in my 7.2 cd
and let it do an upgrade, or do a fresh install and repeat the work from
scratch?
Personally, I'm thinking the latter, mainly because a great many things
changed from 6.4->7.2, and we've got a lot of other stuff tucked in around
it...
What's the general consensus?
