Hi experts,

I'd like to ask for advice on how to ftp install SuSE 9.3 on my laptop where I currently have SuSE 8.2. What are the necessary steps I should folow?

I do have 2 partitions where 2nd one I use just for data but can clean it up. My goal is to have both SuSE 8.2 and SuSE9.3 running so I can move data from SuSE 8.2 partition to SuSE9.3 partition slowly step by step and if anything goes wrong or I need to do something urgent and it does not work on SuSE9.3 yet I can reboot to SuSE8.2 and work till I figure it out.

Thx, Martin

Personally when I tinker with things, I just install another drive. Most of the time it's time to upgrade in drive size anyway...but I totally unhook the "good" existing drive, install what I want, than reconnect the good drive if needed. Or, just connect both of them and go from there. (master-slave, SCSI ID's etc. must be correct...) We have a main file server that's OSX (unix) server that the share is a separate set of drives...the boot drive is the factory drive. That way I can change the OS, upgrade, etc and not worry about mucking up the good important stuff. -- Thanks, George If you play a Windows 2000 disk backwards you will hear satanic chants but - and this is much more frightening - if you play it forwards it installs Windows.
