(Bear with me; the machine I'm trying to upgrade is on the other side of campus, so I may not get file names exactly right) Here's a restatement of a previous question:

In trying to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.3 from a partition, Yast reads the contents of the 6.3 version fine (evident because it correctly lists the package versions).

But it doesn't read the SuSE version info &/or medium age correctly, so that, when one goes to update, Yast says, "installation medium is older than installed system ... nothing to be automatically updated."

1. Am I in the correct Yast menu? Shouldn't it distinguish between update and upgrade?

2. Where does Yast read the information relevant to age of installation medium? I'm no C++ programmer and find the source very confusing. VersionNumber.cc seems to mark the upgrade files as "OLDER" if no version info is available. I had wrongly assumed that Yast used .S.u.S.E.disk1... to determine the version.
