Hello, After two years with 6.3 I need an upgrade. My problem is that I have never done such a thing before (a _former_ colleague installed it for me in the first place), and it is a machine I use at work, so I cannot afford to be without for more than two days. Of course my company has a solution for me, but that solution is called RedHat and I'd rather stay with SuSE. As SuSE 6.3 ran without problems (just the incidental failure to recognize the password when I screen-locked the machine), albeit without sound, can I expect to have a succesfull upgrade, with SuSE recognizing all my settings and keeping everything in tact (partitioning, the Windows NT on a separate harddisk that has remained unused over the last year, etc.) without me having to note down configuration settings etc.? This must be done a zillion times before, but I must have been looking in the wrong places for info on this. Sorry for that.
