When you install 6.4, go to "upgrade an existing system" After you select the language and stuff.. ----- Original Message ----- From: blursky To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Sent: Saturday, July 15, 2000 3:43 PM Subject: [SLE] Updating 6.2 to 6.4 I'm using SuSe 6.2 and want to use 6.4 .....How can I install 6.4 over 6.2 or where can I find documents about it.... <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-9" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3018.900" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When you install 6.4, go to "upgrade an existing system" After you select the language and stuff..</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A href="mailto:blursky@operamail.com" title=blursky@operamail.com>blursky</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A href="mailto:suse-linux-e@suse.com" title=suse-linux-e@suse.com>suse-linux-e@suse.com</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Saturday, July 15, 2000 3:43 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [SLE] Updating 6.2 to 6.4</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using SuSe 6.2 and want to use 6.4 .....How can I install 6.4 over 6.2 or where can I find documents about it....</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY>

Well the first place to look is your local book store or computer store. Borders is where I have bought SuSE in the past. You can also order the distribution online. It is possible to install the whole thing over the net, but it sounds like you're using an analog modem so I doubt you want to go through that. If you have the cash on hand, buy the distribution. In most cases you can simply boot from the CD and upgrade. I have found it straight forward. Invariably someting breaks when I do it, but it's usually something I have tweeked and never anything very important. I do suggest you go to ftp.suse.com as soon as you're done and fetch the updated rpms for the stuff you are using. Here's the link to order online. If you have the money, please buy the product. I buy every distribution just because I feel like I'm contributing to the development of a quality product. If you really feel like you don't have the cash, shoot me a private email. I may be able to stir up some helpful info for installation over ftp. http://www.digitalriver.com/dr/v2/ec_MAIN.Entry10?PN=1&SP=10023&V1=252503&xid=20180 BTW, If you can find a way to turn off your html in outlook, it's probably a good idea. I could care less, I use Netscape for mail. There are a lot of command-line junkies on this list who might flame you if they are having a bad day.

Hello blursky, on Saturday, July 15, 2000 at 23:43:15 +0300, you sat in front of your keyboard and wrote:

Just insert the first 6.4 CD then start YaST and choose upgrade from the
main option dialog. This should upgrade all you currently installed
packages.
