Hi. I'm looking at migrating our RedHat 9 systems to SUSE 10. I assume there's been plenty of discussion, and maybe a FAQ or HOWTO on doing so (WITHOUT wiping existing filesystems), and I'd appreciate a pointer to those.
Depends on what you mean by "(WITHOUT wiping existing filesystems)". Direct migration from RH9 to SUSE10 is not really possible as both distros keep files in different places. Best bet is to export and backup and databases you have and archive/printout any configs you think you may need and of course do a complete system backup just in case.
Um, /home and /usr/local, which are currently *not* seperate partitions? And why is it that no one's come up with an actual upgrade/migration tool? I mean, with RH, the installation wanted to *insist* on reformatting the partitions. How does SUSE handle upgrades? mark -- FDR: We have nothing to fear but fear itself. GWB: Be afwaid.
