Well yes, obviously, a cold upgrade has to work :)
I didn't miss the hot upgrade part. But, from what I read above, you're
basically saying that it may (will ?) not work for people who shall
upgrade a running 10.3 to 11.0 (using yast2's system upgrade, zypper,
smart, whatever).
Or did I miss something there ? There's a difference between "should
know what they are doing" and not possible at all.
Unless, of course, there's a documented way of performing that upgrade
- -- e.g. upgrading rpm from 10.3's to 11.0's first, then doing the rest.
Would that work ?
cheers
