No, unfortunately it doesn't. It will let you do it, and it will try its best to update the packages. But it will not update the package version information in ProdDB, and in some cases, such as when the YaST script syntax changes, it can fail horribly. You can also run into problems if glibc has had an incompatible change (happened I believe in 8.2->9.0, which caused me a lot of problems, I managed to upgrade the system online, but I spent hours doing stuff manually to get it right). And there are other version upgrade tasks which it won't do. But it will upgrade the packages > You have to boot from an installation medium to do it. Yes, this is the way to do it right --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
