Hello, Nice to read from you :).
First of all note that nobody has ever dealt with the DDL upgrading process. I mean no special attention has ever been taken to ensure that users can upgrade without loosing any data :(. Now that we have a first official release, users can expect our next official version to do a smart upgrade. We should write a ticket about this issue. Now concerning your issue, you need to tell us more about the way you proceeded. Did you use the DDL installer that ship with DDL? If yes, it is supposed to erase the partition table of your disk, so you have nothing to format once it has operated since any existing file system should then have gone. Unless… unless you are trying to erase a DDL already installed on HD, while running DDL on CD. I think I remember it fails supposedly because the HD partitions may be mounted by the LiveCD. Anyway the only good way to upgrade should not be to remove all partitions (and then data!) but replace the system data only. Unfortunately I have no solution on the shelf for all these issues. Further work is needed… Cheers, JM. ----- "Xavier Brusselaers" <[email protected]> a écrit : > Hello Everybody, > > Sorry for my prolonged absence but I come back as soon as possible. > > Let me give a little perspective on the latest version of DDL ( > Gondwana ), mainly for the installation. > I had many difficulties to install the update. > (The problem) DDL Gondwana was unable to erase the partition on which > stood the test version . > (The action) The installation process goes well and at the end is > simply stated that DDL is not installed (no other messages). > (The solution) What I did : I deleted the partition with Ubuntu ... > Then I installed Gondwana.
