Hi,
I have a purchased copy of 8.1 pro. I would like to go to 8.2 but I have several questions.
1 - Can I do this on-line for free?
The downloads are available at the SuSE Site and several mirrors. The "free" part depends on how you value your time and connection speed. If you haven't read the "Terms of Use," I suggest you do so...as I can not give legal advice. (I am an "en-gan-near," an not a f@$%^& lawyer.")
2 - Can the update go over my 8.1 installation or do I have to reload.
It can go over the top, or run both on the same machine like I am doing, there was a lot of discusion on this list wheather a clean install is better, but if you decide to "download" If it were me I woould download all I think I needed and then start the install. Don't forget to back-up what you consider important.
3 - Are there ISO images available for download?
Yes, google is your friend.
4 - All this failing, is it possible to purchase an upgrade at reduced price and where can I get it.
"The workman is worthy of his hire." You can do a google search and find at Cheap bites, e-bay and other places the "real thing" as well as knock-0ffs... Let your Yea be yea.... (As an aside SuSE doesn't make much all things consider on the boxed set, I own 8.0 personal and pro, 8.1 and 8.2 and plan to buy 9.0; The Lord willing and the Creeks don't rise...)
5 - When is the next version due out?
Some time this fall or early winter, --- unless the second coming comes first.
Thanks Abraham Bloom
