Hi SuSE folks, I have SuSe 7.2 pro, which I clean installed from my SuSE 6.4. The problem I have now with buying 8.0 is this; since upgrading to 7.2 pro I've been forcing myself to become more and more a SuSE user and less and less a Window$ user. This means I have a ton of saved documents I don't want to loose. Another consideration: it's taken me this long to get 7.2 to run as smoothly as it is now. I'm down to only a couple of things I need to fix and I'll have it the way I want it. Question: Does SuSE 8.0 support the same backup system 7.2 had - taper - or do I need to backup my documents some other way? Would it be better just to upgrade my kernel? I still have 2.4.4. Can 2.4.18 be used to upgrade 7.2?

oh well, i'll await 8.1 before I start setting up the next test systems then, and hope they've fixed it by then. I have too many suse 7.2 intranet web servers working out there to worry about changing because suse haven't got there act together (for once).

Dear List,
Here is a direct 'cut-n-paste' from a SuSE Support email reply:
"The upgrade of 7.2 to 8.0 is neither supported nor recommended by SuSE."
I do not know why or other details. ............. PeterB

Has anyone tried updating their yast2 ONLY (manually) from 8's cd's and then trying?

Having tried this on another 7.3 machine with the same results, I took advantage of the 'free phone support', for the first time (excellent service BTW), and it seams that this is a known issue, but there isn't a solution yet.
So is this happenning to everyone, or is everyone doing clean installs?
