Yes, I do have a complete backup made in case it

Hi,
I just went ahead and did it a couple of days ago. In fact, I did NOT upgrade my DELL laptop (M90 Precision), I just installed it over SuSE10 - but WITHOUT formatting my /home partition. It worked flawlessly well.
I then re-installed, either from old downloads or new ones, a few of my very much used programmes, i.e. zend, datafold and others.
The only hitch I had was smbmount not being there. This list advised me to use cifs instead to mount my VPN remote samba shares. That worked perfectly fine too.
YMMV though :-)

The upgrade went extremely_smoothly! Better than anything from Microsoft. It did delete some programs I had installed myself like ncftp client but re-installing those was trival. Also, had to reinstall mplayer and update w32codecs so I could play mp3's. Looking good so far.
Smart-gui isnt working well so I'm just using yast to install software from sources. No problems there.

So far I have updated two machines from 10.1 to 10.2. Everything worked pretty much flawlessly, except I had to perform the upgrade in text mode. The only big headache I had was getting a set of repositories together for the packages I use for 10.2 - now that that is done, using smart works great, and I have been able to upgrade everything I use. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
