I just found this entry in the yast contol center. Does this mean I no longer have to boot from an iso or CD1 when I upgrade say from 9.0 to 9.1? Thanks, Steve.

I've never tried it, but I shall with 9.1. When you mouseover "System Update" it says "Update your entire system. Insert CD1 before proceeding", this suggests that you pop the 9.1 CD1/DVD in and off you go. It will either do it on the fly or do a shutdown and reboot. Perhaps someone upgrading from 8.2 to 9.0 can confirm what happens, assuming it's available under 8.2. Regards Sid.

Hi Sid and hi everone. My main aim is to speed up the upgrade of a 20 node school lan. Normally we do it by ftp of nfs from the server but boot the clients from a suse iso or cd1 from the cd set having first copied the dvd to the ftp or nfs directory. I have always done it like that as I was once told that you cannot upgrade a running system (libraries etc.). Anyone in a similar situation? Cheers, Steve.

You might do it faster with aytoyast: http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/ On the ohter hand you need some time, to get this going though. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
