The first attempt vanished,

I'm trying to upgrade my old machine from 5.2 to 6.3.

I just put the CDrom back in and added a second HD.

When I tried to do the ugrade from .79 yast it said the CD was from another yast and to boot from the boot disk. I did that then setup the swap partitions.

It searched the disk and then started the update.

it ends with a red screen and a error message on VT3

Error Open Output File, detail: 0 File systemCmd.cc line 530 YAST Return Code 256 (errno = 4)

I had a similar error on another old machine yesterday. Both machines have small drives.

Machine 1 hda is 202 meg, hdb 420 meg 8 meg RAM, 486-33

Machine 2 hda is 202 meg, 12 meg RAM, 486-66

I've been told that the best approach would be to back up what I want to save and reinstall. In that case what would be the best partition scheme for a 202 and a 420 drive? I was thinking of swap and root on the 202, and /usr/opt and /home on a single partition on the 420. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
