Upgrading SuSE 8.2 to 9.1

Right,
is upgrading SuSE 8.2 to 9.1 possible without buying the disks?

Basically I wouldnt want to buy the upgrade pack as if a hd fails, I would have to install 8.2 then the upgrade pck.

SO, can I from there website upgrade my version from 8.2 to 9.1? (the other idea is to save all my data..)

Cheers

No, SuSE allows the full download after a long time, so you have to buy the box.

I can't recommend the upgrade, backup your data and make a fresh installation. It's faster and fits better due no "residual waste".

Make backups is allways a good idea !

I can burn normal files in k3b, but it wont let me burn the 23mb boot.iso file..

so i click on bar, click burn iso/image and set it up.. but it wont burn - error 255 about disk space..

edit: nevermind - it was 2 toasters in a row...

RIGHT..

im using a MSi K7N2 delta (nforce 2)

and to install it from the boot.iso i need to know what my ethenet(network module is) and the parameters.. anyone have any help for me in this area??

I need to know what network module it uses! (and parameters)
