I have still a server running on Suse 7.1 [...] My problem: The machine is a server which should be running permanently. So I should update the system while running the machine ... any ideas if there are problems updating the system to 8.2 from 7.1 ... I would install 8.2 on a new harddisk, copy all settings from the 7.1 machine and swap disks (this saves you from doing a backup ;) or copy the new installation over the old one.
I can remember I had to work for two days to get my server running again, when I upgraded from 6.3 to 7.1 ... as the directories, etc. did not fit anymore ... :-(((( Will be the same with 8.2, lots of things have changed (which is good IMHO, because it means that there is still some movement in the distribution).
