In the mean time, I looked around SUSE help again. I did found a paragraph of the system update. It says: "Update the version of SUSE Linux installed on your system with 'System Update'. During operation, you can only update application software, not the base system." Don't those two contradict? First says, you use System Update to install the version of SUSE, but then next says, that it can not do that. Great. Then it goes on to say: "To update the base system, boot the computer from an installation medium, such as CD. When selecting the installation mode in YaST, select 'Update an Existing System'." What is the point of "System Update" in YaST? So it means that I need to boot from something. Now, I can boot from network and possibly from floppies. How do I boot from network and start SUSE installation? Should be quite easy as it's only a few clicks in Knoppix... I'm thinking that as I have the ISO image on the other server, there should be easy way to make the other server boot from net and just start on the installation (I think that's about how knoppix does it.). Jdd, thanks for your tip also. I do not have any spare partitions where I could copy stuff (or keep 10.0 around) so I have to be able to boot from the net. -- HG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
