The last 8.2 --> 9.1 upgrade I did wasn't an upgrade but had to be a fresh 
install. The machine concerned was running on XFS, and the installer kept 
choking. I had the same problem with a 9.0 machine yesterday trying to go to 
9.2. On that one the upgrade didn't like the flavour of Reiser FS used on 
9.0.

[expert] Upgrade Path from 8.2

2003-10-23 Thread Ricardo (Tru64 User)
Hi All,

I have a solid/stable 8.2 box working as a webserver.
Since 8.2 is no longer supported, I imagine i have no
choice but to upgrade (not that savvy to make my own
update rpm's!)
I want to throw 9.1 in there. Do i have to go in
steps, 8.2 -->9.0 -->9.1 or simply throw 9.1 cd's and
install (live or from bootcd?).
Is it workable or I should simply go thru a
Complete-re-install?

_Thanks
