How to uprade from 7.3 to 8.1
Hello all, I have been looking at the ftp site at SuSE and can't determine the files to download and how to do it. Do I have to compile the kernel or is there a binary that is available. I do have an Athlon AMD 1800+ processor. If I need to recompile the kernel to take advantage of it that would be quite alright. Where do I get started? I need the files to download to totally upgrade the system and how to do it. Thanks, Robert Pollard

You might find doing a fresh install is better. While 7.3 and 8.1 look similar on the surface, the plumbing in 8.1 is a tad bit difference. Of course, if you're not prepared to do a fresh install before hand, a fresh install may not be practical. Christopher Reimer

I wouldn't mind doing a fresh install. This would give me practice in backing the system up to another computer like my Sun system. Thanks, Robert
