Can I upgrade a 10.0 to 11.0 by choosing the Installation ==> Upgrade option from the DVD? (I tried this by installing 10.0 under VMware but when booting from the DVD and attemting the install, it cannot see the virtual hard drive. I am running an older version 1.0.3 of VMware Server.)
Thank you, Lucky Leavell
Lucky, ...you would have to be to pull that off. I wouldn't. It is possible, but not probable if you want to make sure nothing will bite you later. The jump from 10.0 to 11.0 is huge in a lot of core package areas. Just do it the right way and do a clean install. Backup all data (usually /home) Backup needed configs, "if any" (usually /etc/...., sometimes /var/lib) Backup mail (/var/spool/mail) Backup web (/srv/www/htdocs, and anything else you have squirreled away) Backup smb shares (if outside of /home/samba) Pop the 11.0 dvd and reboot for a clean install substitute "Restore" for "Backup" above and finish -- David C.
