10.0 beta2 to beta3 to beta4 etc....?
i currently run 10.0 beta2..
just noticed that there is now a beta3 available.. also noticed that it's only a week between beta2 and beta3.. i see that you can 'upgrade' your i386 beta2 to beta3 via smaller delta iso's.. how do i do if i want to 'upgrade' my 64bit beta2 to beta3 and etc..? do i really need to download, burn and re-install from 5 new iso's every time (week..?) the next beta is out..? |
NO just add the beta3 sources. You can change the beta1 sources to beta3 but keep the beta2 sources. Then run System Update.

craigevil,
hhmmm..hm..ok - i tried that - but it seems to me that it did not work really..:scratch:..?? when i made the sys update i selected all packages to be forced update.. then i was asked to insert the the 5 installation cd's (beta2) one by one.. at no point could i see any updating linked to the online /inst-source dir so is that a sys update to the beta3 from the beta2..? and is it possible to check which beta i have installed..? |
I just clicked System Update. Not the software update in YOU zzzall.
Going from beta2 to beta3 didn't seem to download as many files as going from beta1 to beta 2 did. The beta1 to beta2 update downloaded 1.8GB of files. Had to also switch disks a few times. The beta2 to beta3 update only downloaded around 10MB. |
next question
i just saw in the repositories that there is now delta iso's available also for x86_64.. i tried downloading these (beta3_beta4) put the 5 of them into the same dir as the 5 beta2 iso's made the: Code:
$ applydeltaiso SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-Beta2-CD1.iso \SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-Beta2_Beta3_beta4-CD1.delta.iso ended up in 'success'.. but i expected to see 5 new iso's named SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-Beta4-CD1.iso etc.. for me to burn on 5 blank cd's in order to make a new install - or can you update your sys with the new iso's (if you have those - that is)..? none of those - just the same 10 files within the dir.. what could i be doing wrong - or is this the way to do a delta update with the old iso's..? |
alright - i seem to have finally grapped the deal..
i just did another system update - and again it asked for 2 of the cd's..and updated the kernel - which btw is 2.6.13-rc6-git7-3-smp.. so i assume that this is all there is to it..? but still: is it possible to check anywhere which beta ver (2, 3 or 4) is in your box..? thx for your patience.. :D |
is Yast like RPMDRAKE in madriva?
|
More. It is an all-in-one hardware/general system configuration tool. It's kinda like the control panel on a windows box. Almost any configuration that requires root access can be done from YaST.
One of the YaST modules is an rpm frontend. It is where you go on a SuSE box install any package that came with the distro. |

repositories is for what purpose?

I'm wondering if those sources by "craigevil" on the first page here for Yast are still valid, I have tried clicking on the links & they lead to nothing.
If that is the case then what sources do we have for SuSE 10. The other reason I ask is I am also having trouble adding them to my Sources in Yast but might be doing it wrong as I am not quite sure which part goes in the "add to Directory part" & which part of Repo goes to "Server Name" & when I try to add them through Terminal as described I get "no such file or directory" so I think I ain't doing it right? |
I got the last 2 to work on his list " suser-guru & pacman" but the others seem to be dead ink- 4 SuSE 10.
I might try and install APt & give that ago, AnyWay |
Have you noticed the Wiki at OpenSuSE.org? It contains a full list already :)

Repos from ftp.gwdg.de are not working.... The link seems to be broken or something like this....
But repos from Packman and Schiele are ok.... but doesn't work !!!! I add these repos to YaST (and YaST added both ok) but when I go to Software Manager (in YaST) I receive the message "Looking For Avaliable Packages" but, when it ends, I can't find any packages from Packman or Schiele.... Only packages from CDs !! I've been using this process on many installs for SuSE 9.3, and all works great ! Why not works on SuSE 10 ??? Oh, yes... I'm using SuSE 10.0 GM, in 5 CDs, downloaded from one SuSE mirror.... And I make all upgrades (with YOU) in install process... Any help ? |
