Part of the problem would appear to be a significant space crunch. 6.3/6.4 have *minimum* installs running well over 600 Megs. To squeeze 6.4 into the space you evidently have available (and still have room for actual apps) would require some really ruthless package pruning in the initial install phase. Plain upgrade just won't do it. Plus moving from the 2.0.x to the 2.2.x kernels is/was frequently a dicey and frustrating process via upgrade. So for both those reasons you'd be better off with backing up and installing cleanly. (A good 2 Gig drive added prior to the "installing cleanly" part certainly wouldn't hurt either...) --Kevin On Thu, 22 Jun 2000, Mike Kenzie wrote:
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
