[opensuse] Migration advice sought
I finished building my new computer (look for the series of posting soon to come on Linux Brain Dump) and now I'm wondering what and how to move my current set up over. I'm running openSUSE 10.2, with plenty of apps installed. I figure at the very least, I will copy my ~ folder over, which should get most of my data. But should I install the latest 10.3 beta and hope to be able to upgrade that? Or should I just go with 10.2 and wait for the official upgrade path? And in any case, is there an easy way in YaST to find out what packages I have installed so I can install them on the new machine? -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) LinuxBrainDump, Linux HowTo's and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbrainddump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

By all means, test the beta, but on a different partition.
