-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I noticed that SuSE 9.1 support will die on 6/2006, and I am wondering about just upgrading rather than rebuilding the system on my server. How far can I upgrade (version) without severely affecting my system? What are the steps? I am sorry if this question has been asked before.

In theory, to any of the supported versions, meaning 10.0 for you. I went 9.1 --> 9.3, but previously 8.1 --> 8.2 --> 9.1. Before that 5.x --> 6.2? - --> 6.4? --> 7.1 --> 7.3 (at least). 7.3 --> 8.1 failed. Not a piece of cake, but not really complicated. IMO, YMMV, ;-) O:-) :-P

Yesterday, in the "Session management error" thread, for instance. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFD5BN3tTMYHG2NR9URAsDcAJ9Dr57xOZiAAuymJUyGsv/TaBHeXQCgkyEp sl7fK0P8k4Iev0/nuAVVaI0= =UGUT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Thanks for the info, but a chat with Novell says I can try from 9.1 but it is really from 9.3 to 10 which they would support. Sigh... I can try, but I think I will have to start from scratch. Carlos E. R. wrote:

My usual recommendation is: do a full backup, then try the upgrade. No go, it fails? Then start anew - you still have the backup with everything, you don't loose anything; not even time, because you gain experience. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFD6gswtTMYHG2NR9URAm9xAKCTDEElKlNgZWpb8NY43/62VD43oACeMTj5 sn10s1i0tAevHKkGNHpUxmY= =kzvQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
