Has anyone done this specific upgrade of openSUSE? If so, any pitfalls? I am hoping to avoid having to do a new install on this type of machine.
Yes, I did it with zypper once, and it worked, not without glitched though. a) add 11.1 repositories, remove the old ones b) upgrade rpm using either yast or rug(cough, cough) c) install zypper and all its dependencies, do not mess with dependencies manually, let the system to decide. d) run zypper ref and then zypper dup, of course, before that, add the repos to zypper if not there. e) once complete, update fstab and grub boot menu to use /dev/sdX instead of /dev/hdX if needed. f) remove package "devs" if installed e) prey to your favorite $DEITY heh :P f) reboot warning: this procedure is absolutely unsupported, if it eats your babies, you are on your own. -- "We have art in order not to die of the truth" - Friedrich Nietzsche Cristian Rodríguez R.
