Hi,
I've never done an upgrade installation before on any of my SuSE
installations. This time, because I installed Alpha5 on a brand new
machine that is not (yet) mission critical, I was thinking of trying
an upgrade.
My question is: How do I do this? Do I use the YaST "System Update"
from the running system? Do I boot from the Beta1 DVD and install
over the existing system? Something else?
I launched the YaST "System Update" module with the Beta1 DVD in the
drive. After moment of "analyzing..." it told me the product on the
installation media was not compatible with the running system. I told
it to continue and the initial installation proposal lists:
- 1389 packages to update
- 26 packages to install
- 2 packages to remove
On the "Update Options" page it says "Update from Non-Linux system
to ? ?". (For the record, I have a mostly stock 10.2 Alpha5
installation running.)
If I proceed with this, am I likely to have problems?

I finished upgrade just over an hour ago from 10.2Alpha4 to Beta1
booting from the DVD (10.1Alpha5 DVD iso + delta remastered) and
selecting the update route. The only problem I experienced was with
autoyast cloning the system where the error was "/usr/bin/jing: no such
file or directory". I forgot to note the bug id however.
Regards
Sid.
