I just upgraded my AMD64 system from 9.1 to 9.2 and ran into a couple of issues that are irritating.
1) when yast goes to perform an update right after network check, it pre-selects a mirror that cannot be changed. I am in California, it always pre-selects UCLA which always fails. I have never ever been able to connect to that mirror, SuSE should either remove it from the mirror list or allow the user to select the mirror during the install process.
That has hit me with both 9.1 and 9.2. I would agree that they should change the mirror default or allow it to be changed, it would be helpful.
3) During the upgrade there is a reboot performed. That reboot must fire up the xwindow system and maybe even kde, I'm not sure, but there was a long long period of time where all that I had was a black screen with a busy hourglass icon and no disk activity light or dvd activity light. Frankly, I thought the system might be locked up or something, it lasted at least 3 minutes until yast and the continuation of the upgrade screen came on. If there was a warning about this somewhere I sure didn't see it. Were I slightly more impatient, I would have assumed the system was hosed and rebooted.
This could be because 9.1 used XFree86, and 9.2 uses X.org for the xwindows system, and it would need to convert your system. BTW, I also updated my 9.1 x86_64 to 9.2 with very few issues that I can remember now. Definitely no show stoppers. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
