Re: [SLE] [Fwd: SuSE 7.3]

I have my /home directory on a seperate partition, so that all my data stays safe as I "play" with my system. I have reinstalled many times and never lost any important data. -- Marianne Taylor On Monday 03 December 2001 04:15, Quinton Delpeche wrote:

Hi,

Well officialy SuSE say that there shouldn't be a problem.

Many people I know perform upgrades and have no issues, I however (due to personal preference) never perform an upgrade and rather do a fresh install everytime.

Just recently one of my colleagues upgraded from SuSE 7.0 to 7.2 without any issues.

To be on the safe side I would reccomend doing a backup just in case, you never know when Murphy may be lurking around.

Just one question - Is there much danger of me loosing any files in a) my home directory? b) my Netscape email - letters - bookmarks - addresses? c) StarOffice? when I upgrade from 7.1 to 7.3? Thanks & regards Richard
