Hi, I have a well-functioning 9.3 installation and will be setting up a 10.0 installation using the Novell commercial distribution when it arrives. I'm attempting a preview installation using the 10.0 RC1 OSS release based on the 5-CD set of ISOs I just retrieved via the torrent published on the openSUSE.org Web site.
What I'd like to do is run all (or as much as possible) of the installation software under my existing 9.3 setup. I want to do this for two reasons: 1) Keep the system available for ordinary operations during the (preview) installation. 2) Make it easy to access information about the existing configuration without having to write it all down or hunt for it in configuration files during the execution of the installer. Is this possible? Are there other ways to accomplish my goals (especially (2))? I have VMware and it occurred to me to set up a VM for the purpose of installing the new release, but that approach seems flawed because of the significant discrepancies between the emulated environment and the physical one on which I'll ultimately want the new installation to run. Thanks in advance for any tips, hints, pointers or instructions.
