Looks like you never went went through the hassle involved in shipping out any substantial number of items! By the time you get through building the address lists, printing labels, affixing them to the package, assembling the package, sealing the packages, sorting them by destination, hauling the whole mess to the shipper/post office/wherever you need a convenient brewery to recuperate. Even with pre-assembled packages and on-site pickup it's a process guaranteed to spoil your whole day(s) for even a few hundred pieces. Worth every penny to off-load the process! First time out, I thought it was simple - turned out the simple part of the process was ME - for getting involved. -- Will Honea

The update process try to remove many applications! it complains about my intel compilers etc... I've restaured my 11.0 backup. OK, cpuset are not activated in the kernel :-( I build a new kernel with cpuset but it do not want to load the nvidia module: FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.25.20.cpuset-0.7-cpuset/updates/nvidia.ko): Invalid module format All is X86_64 binaries as shown by a file command on the modules compiled for my cpuset kernel version and the non cpuset version. I do not understand. /lib/modules/2.6.25.20.cpuset-0.7-cpuset/updates is a link on /lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.7-default/updates because re-installing nvidia module is always in /lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.7-default/updates, even if i boot my cpuset kernel :-( A fresh re-install with 11.2 or 11.3 is possible but I need to configure many things (ldap, nfs...) reinstall commercial software etc.. One or two days of work. Is there a standart Opensuse kernel (I mean compiled, updatable with yast/you) with cpuset activated in 11.2 or 11.3 ? Patrick

No, was introduced in 11.1 and _I_ would only use it from 11.2 TO 11.3, the 11.1 version is tricky (people already screw'ed up 2 of our systems with it, always a problem, users who need sudo for "all commands", I had to re-image their systems to get it working again). -- ****************************************************************** ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.

I used it for a 10.3 to 11.2 and a 10.3 to 11.1 upgrade without issues. I also did an 11.1 to 11.2 upgrade, but that screwed up because of user errors[0], and had to have a fresh install to fix it. [0] A version upgrade with a forced change of architecture. It screwed up because I installed a 64bit kernel but didn't reboot before getting on with the rest of the upgrade. And because it was running in 32bit environment, none of the 64bit post install scripts/apps worked and so the system was rendered unusable.
