Then if I download any orphan rpms (eg fluendo, sun download manager, hulu etc) I just keep them there and install via zyyper. -- Cheers Malcolm ��� (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.32.12-0.7-default up 6 days 3:16, 3 users, load average: 0.09, 0.62, 0.45 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 256.35

In general, some packages can be found in the standard openSUSE repos (such as OSS and Non-OSS) AND can be found in 3rd-party repositories. Different versions of VLC are found in the VideoLan repo and in in the Packman repo. Personally, I'm using the 1.2.0-2xxx version out of the VideoLan repo (called "vlc-beta"). VLC is *not* found in the standard openSUSE repos. So in this instance, I'd say VLC is "3rd party". -- We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities. -- Walt Kelly, "Pogo" <<< Remove YOURSHOES to email me >>>

IIRC at least one > regular poster here has used it successfully to go to 11.2 I've managed one from 10.3 to 11.1 and another from 11.0 to 11.2, both without issues. Another that was going from 11.1 to 11.2 didn't go quite as well, but that was also because I tried forcing it to go from 11.1 32bit to 11.2 64bit. Things didn't go so well and I ended up doing almost a fresh install. I know that the main reason for that screw-up was because it became painfully obvious that I'd forgotten to reboot into a 64bit environment before continuing with the upgrade after installing the 64bit kernel and supporting packages. As for my other 10.3 systems, one will get moved to 11.1 sometime in the very near future, and the other to 11.3 a little after it's released.

I went through many SUSE versions since 6.0 but never attempted an upgrade, but now I thought I might give it a try. Joachim
