Hello everybody,
I recently switched to Suse, starting with 8.0 and now I want to upgrade to 8.1. So I downloaded the CD image from the FTP server, burned it on a CD and booted with it. Setup for a network installation through FTP. The Yast2 GUI installer loaded properly but then, what a surprise when I reached the step to select the installation mode saying something like:
There is already a Linux installation. Do you want to: - Make a new installation. (and therefore loose the current one) - Boot the current OS.
So, where is the upgrade option? I found other messages asking that on this mailing list but no answer. The proposed suse_upgrade boot option is useless.
<snip> This is the way upgrading works : 1) Boot from install cd, dvd, etc 2) Choose INSTALLATON option 3) Select the language 4) The next screen will detect a previously installed version of Linux, giving the option of upgrading to the newer version. Hope this helps.
