[opensuse] Migration from 10.3 to 11.0
Setup: I use to have a separate test box - now I'm using VirtualBox I have about 10 external programs that I need to install and test 1) If I install 11.0 in vbox (minus the first level configuration, like the sound card, printer) with nothing special, will it be the same as on a separate box ? 2) Next to load the proper repositories and install the 10 external programs and test. 3) How can I backup 11.0 (minus /home) and overlay onto 10.3 ? (Backup and restore directories?)

There are always differences. For example, the video card. It will the same or not depending on your programs.

Go back from 11.0 to 10.3? Huh? Sorry, I don't understand this question. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

No, I want to use the existing 10.3 system and just overlay it with the vbox preinstalled and tested 11.0. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ah! Ah! Mmmm... :-? Dunno. I have never tried such a thing. I can't advise you with that. Might work... but make a full backup first, just in case. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I read this as taking the 11.0 install and replacing the 10.3 with it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
