Well, keep in mind that Novell / SuSE have only a 2-year commitment to each release. Those who require package updates and don't want or have the ability to build everything themselves are pretty much forced to upgrade. I also find that my promiscuous exploration of new software tends to make my system rather crufty after not too many months, so I welcome the new releases as an opportunity for a fresh start. I never do update installations, though. I always perform a clean installation on newly initialized partitions or disks, keeping the old root directory around at least long enough to serve as a reference for configurations and settings and as a fallback in case of trouble. This time I'm going to install 10.1 under Parallels on my MacBook Pro. > ... > > houghi Randall Schulz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
