I'll second this approach. While YaST has a upgrade feature, you have the ability to create machines on the fly and you're much less likely to have problems with mixed code levels, etc by just building a replacement next to the current system and then swapping the IP addresses when you're satisfied with it. Gives you a trivial backout strategy as well.
(It also has the positive side effect of testing your DR documentation and configuration management scheme). -- db David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Rich Smrcina > Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 10:45 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Upgrade path from SLES7 to SLES8 > > > I've always done a fresh install.
