9.1 to 9.3
 

Good morning all, I have an install of SuSE 9.1 that I have been using for some time now. I would like to upgrade to 9.3. I have seen some threads that seem to indicate that I can do this via the internet. I have a broadband connection and would like to do the upgrade this way. I have googled around a bit, but am not real secure about the process. I really don't want to ruin what I have now. Could someone help me with a walk-thru of the proceedure? Or point me to a howto that my challenged mind will feel secure with? I would greatly appreciate this help.

In general, I always recommend a clean installation.

Both, update and clean install are run the same way: download and burn the min-installation.iso or boot.iso from your favourite (fast!) mirror. ( http://www.novell.com/products/linux...t_mirrors.html )
Now boot from this CD and start the installation by pointing to the installation source:
linux26 install=ftp://ftp_server/directory
During the setup process, you will be asked if you prefer an update or clean installation.
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.sus...9.3/README.FTP

I decided to take your advice and download the .iso's. I have been away from linux for about two years due to a project I was on at work. I had to use MacOS during that time. Now I am finished and am back to linux. I also decided to try the 10beta instead of 9.3. I am not sure that was a great idea as I cannot make my wireless work with 10. I am using a lucent orinoco gold adapter and in the past this card has always been native to linux, just plug it in and it works. It was working fine in the 9.1 install that I just blew away. I have read and tried many of the suggestions to no avail. Iwconfig does not find it at all even though one green light is on and yast displays a configuration screen. I know I must be overlooking something and I hope it to be something simple. Please give me some ideas.
