Hi all,
I realise this is the gentoo forum, but I've had this problem out on the
sabayon forum (which is not as busy as here) and got no feedback as yet.
So, I'mputting my question out here as well.
I just went to upgrade to 3.4 loop 1 (live/install DVD) and it won't
detect my existing Sabayon 3.3 installation.
Why do you want to install 3.4 if you have already a working installation?
Sabayon is just gentoo with a different installer, correct? So as long as you
do your emerge sync && emerge -u world. you never need to install a new
version, right?
So your problem is not a problem at all?
Thanks for the reply I admire your logic Hemman :-)
But as a new Sabayon/Gentoo user and one ONLY used to binary
distributions to date, I wanted to go up a version to get the latest:
a) gnome (2.81)
b) kernel (not so important)
As I'm not used to emerge/portage I'm not confident in upgrading these
in the "traditional" gentoo way, hence why an upgrade install would give
me new binary versions of these apps/suites - I thought in a painless
manner. 3 days later with no more insight I'm not so sure :-(
That aside, given the problems with the installer, what does concern me
is the potential for a crash to render the system "unusable" and
requiring a complete reinstall
