[opensuse] How to revert from SUSE 11.1 to SUSE 11
Hi, Please let me know how to revert completely from SUSE 11.1 to SUSE 11. Beacuse I am facing some issues related to speed, minicom and others. Because I need to start my work urgently, I need the previous configuration (suse 11). I tried updating with SUSE 11 DVD, but it raised some new issues. So, please tell me how to revert from SUSE 11.1 to SUSE 11. Regards, Pavan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Do a backup of all which is important to you, and start up a clean install of 11.0. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What worked for me was to keep the existing oS 11.1 & put oS 11 on a new partition- you can use a new/spare HD also. Then the oS 11.1 data folders can be accessed from oS 11. PS: The new oS 11 GRUB was installed on the / (i.e. / of the new oS 11) partition; not on the MBR (as during install default, is to locate GRUB on the MBR). You will then need to modify/add menu.lst to chainload the new oS 11, using GRUB of oS 11.1.

Please be aware that no such names do exist. There is OpenSUSE 11.1 and OpenSUSE 11.0, and then there will be SLES 11. There is no SUSE 11. So what you ask is impossible.

Then restore your backup. You DO have a backup, of course. >:-) You don't? Too bad... then install again. There is no revert feature. And in case you want to re-revert... be sure you make a backup this time. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
