I have virtualbox 1.5.4 installed on openSUSE 10.3 from a download from virtualbox. I am considering upgrading to 1.6. Two questions (1) can I upgrade without risking my virtual machines? I know I can make copies, but I am still curious. (2) is there any advantage in using the release from virtualbox over the one in the build service? In the 1.5 series, the download from virtualbox was claimed to have fixed things not in the build release, which stayed a few point releases behind. I know it is probably too new to tell, but anyone have a feeling for this?
The new version converts VDIs to new format that is not compatible with older VBox versions. I had no chance to test that. Looking at the speed it happened it is something in the description of VDI. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
