Hi!
I would like to re-install from scratch 8.0 then update to 8.1 on my SONY Vaio POCG-FX505 laptop. There are 4 partitions on it: <SNIP> And As I have only the 'update' version 8.1 CDs, I imagine I should first re-install a full 8.0 version then update to 8.1
Ah, but the 'update' edition of SuSE is the same full cd/dvd set as the full edition, just with less manuals. So unlike the crippled M$ 'upgrades' you can load it on to a blank machine.
