Hello.
Has anyone had any experience performing an "upgrade of an existing system" with SuSE 9.1 Pro, rather than performing a new install?
I am upgrading from v8.0 to v9.1 and was wondering if this method is safe.
I was unsuccessful with this, but I backed up, so it was no big deal. I have heard others have had success. IMHO doing this without backup is suicide.
It should be added that going from 8.0 to 9.1 is a *major* jump. Two releases in between. The greater the jump, the better the odds for a problem in my opinion. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
