I have run Suse 6.4 for quite a while now, and has been very pleased with that. Now, I need to upgrade my Oracle 8i installation to 9i, and this requires glibc 2.2.
My opinion: a fresh install of 8.1 while retaining your current 6.4. Either back it up carefully or install into fresh partitions.
I agree with this. If practical, install 8.1 on a different machine and test it thoroughly, then wipe the production machine and reinstall or either make the new machine the production machine. The difference is too great to attempt an upgrade (I speak from experience, having started with SuSE 5.3). -- ================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) -------------------------------------------------- "You may think this is the finest pearl But it's only cardboard balls, seamed in glue Overwhelming technique; done through diligence" -------------------------------------------------- -Captain Beefheart, "Best Batch Yet" ==================================================
