When I did my upgrade 8.2 found about a dozen problems. The installer had me work through them and keep or install the problem packages. There is also and expert button on the screen that will take you to YaST. When that happens you can look at all the packages that it is going to install and make sure that your version of Evolution is not touched. It is most likely going to show up with a padlock icon on it, that means that the installer will leave it alone. It is a point and click operation inside a YaST2 screen. Most packages will be replaced OK. If you have any non-SuSE packages they will be left alone. I had installed Ogle to watch DVDs and it and it's decrypting package was left working in 8.2. So spend ten minutes poking around in the install conflict resolution screen and it is on with the show. On Monday 21 April 2003 10:10 am, Malke Routh wrote:
OK - I've decided to back up everything and try an upgrade vs. clean install on my 8.1 system. After all, if the result isn't nice I can always clean install then. But I've got a dumb question: when I go to select programs during the install, if I've already got something I don't want to replace (like Evolution 1.2.4 which I understand is more recent than the one on the 8.2 cd), do I leave it unselected, or will the upgrade remove anything I don't have selected? When I select Mozilla, say, will it replace the one I've got with the new one (which I want to happen)?
Told you it was dumb, but I've never upgraded SuSE before, just clean installed and I'd rather ask ahead of time so I can plan accordingly.
