Well it looks like tonight is a possibility for upgrading to suse 9.3.
While I am essentially happy with setting up from scratch there are a
few files I want to back up first, here's all I can think of: fstab,
firefox bookmarks, and thunderbird address book. And I would probably
make a copy of my home folder just in case.
Am I missing something major that I don't know about? Is this a good
opportunity to be looking/doing other things too? I thought about the
partition sizes:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> sudo df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb7 8.4G 3.8G 4.2G 48% /
tmpfs 252M 40K 252M 1% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1 28G 8.7G 19G 32% /windows/C
/dev/hdb1 23G 23G 107M 100% /windows/E
/dev/hda5 30G 16G 14G 53% /windows/D
/dev/hda6 32G 8.0G 24G 26% /windows/F
/dev/hda7 32G 9.1G 23G 29% /windows/G
/dev/hda8 30G 7.2G 23G 25% /windows/H
Apart from the windows drives, is this saying that the linux install is
just on hdb7 and tmpfs? Should I refine this scheme? Is the swap file
tmpfs? There's actually twice that much ram on this machine, I
thought. (maybe i need to run memtest).
All my data and email exist on a separate drive (which will themselves
be backed up first) so I don't need to worry about that.
Any comments would be welcome.
Cheers,
Roger
