Upgrade suse 9.2 > 9.3
Hi ! Sometimes ago, I did a clean install using the ftp DVD iso. The system is a x86_64 (AMD Athlon 64). Everything went smoothly. Recently, I updated KDE to the last version (KDE 3.4.2 i think) with YOU. In the same time I have downloaded the DVD iso of SuSE 9.3 on a SuSE mirror. I burned the DVD, and I changed the install source in YaST. When I wanted to upgrade, several packages gave dependencies problems. Some was minor (I can delete Mplayer, and install it again later...) but some are more important : GCC, hwinfo 10.16-3.1a nd a lot of packages related to Yast2.... I had also other packages causing troubles, but once I deleted GCC-locale (I can live without it), ncurses-devel (I can probably install it later), torcs (a game...) the only problematic packages were the Yast2 related ones. I didn't dare to upgrade. BTW, I know that a clean install is preferable, but (and maybe here is the culprit), whenever I boot the computer with the 9.3 DVD (burned with K3b out from the downloaded ISO), the computer don't boot on the DVD. So i am unable to do a clean install over the 9.2 system. Is anyone have any idea ? Thanks in advance Regards Matthias Titeux -- __________________________________ Matthias Titeux, PhD INSERM U563 - CPTP Departement de Genetique fonctionnelle des maladies des epitheliums Batiment Lefebvre - 2eme etage CHU Purpan Avenue de Grande Bretagne 31059 Toulouse Cedex 03 FRANCE --------------- Tel: 33 (5) 62 74 45 03 _________________________________

Maybe so, but I think that 9.3 is a better release than 9.2.
If it's a black hole, I'm so deep in, I'm loving it - x86 and x86_64. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ... Hamradio License G3VBV, Keen licensed Private Pilot Retired IBM/Amdahl Mainframes and Sun/Fujitsu Servers Tech Support Specialist Microsoft Windows Free Zone - Linux used for all Computing Tasks
Thank you for your answers, To paolo : Thanks for your advice, but I have some troubles with 9.2 that will maybe be corrected under 9.3. Ex : Whenever I try to install DVD-rip from packman sites (using 9.2 x86_64 rpms), it installs correctly but is not able to find the needed applications (transcode.....) but all these apps are present (and I believe compiled in 64 bits). I have some other problems when compiling (errors i don't have the time nor the knowledge to fix). Maybe it will be less problematic under suse 9.3, maybe not...I want to give a try. To Jerry and Sid : Thanks for giving me your opinions. To all : Is anybody have a clue why I have such problems or why this DVD won't boot, I would appreciate the help.
