Dear list, When I emailed SuSE support about a problem booting the 8.0 install disks they replied: "The upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0 is neither recommended nor supported" there was no further explaination so I cannot tell you why the 7.2 to 8.0 upgrade won't work.

Hello all,

I'm running Suse 7.2 and some day I'll need to upgrade to 8.x . I have been looking at the mail list for informations and I'm getting mixed messages. I'm looking for detail documentation preferable from Suse shows all pre-install, install, and configuration of the migration process from 7.x - 8.0. I have a production system that runs critical apps and I can't afford to make a mistake in OS upgrade. Here is my configuration : /dev/hda1 / ext2 /dev/hda2 /boot ext2 /dev/hda3 /user ext2 /dev/hdb1 /home ext2 /dev/hdb2 swap swap So if you have information on how to move to 8.0 without any loss of data with the above configuration, Please send them my way.............

Thanks in advance ~mn
