I can't comment on 8.2 to nine, but I upgraded a beta version of nine to nine final and it was fast. (compared to previous upgrade efforts) and fully functional...
the beta was substantially different from the final in a number of areas (including the kernel) and it all went perfectly.. So the chances are good that it works. (particularly since 8.2 to nine would be the most tested upgrade. rgds franki -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Guntner Sent: Tuesday, 1 October 2002 12:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] ML 9.0 final is out? I note on the Mandrake site what appears to be an announcement that 9.0 final has been released and is currently downloadable and preorders are being taken for the boxed set. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if doing an upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0 is a doable thing, or is wipe-and-load-from-scratch the way to go? I tried doing an upgrad from 8.1 to 8.2 that wound up not working quite as well as advertised, and I just wanted to know if I should skip the "try to upgrade" step and go straight to the "clean install after wiping" step. :-) Thoughts? --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key
