Suse 10.2 want to update to 11.2

English Install/Boot/Login

I tried to download the Suse 11.2 DVD to do an install. After 3 hours or so it was done.
When I went to do the install it failed cause it was corrupt.
Not to big of deal, I had an older version of 10.2.

Now that I have 10.2 installed, is there a way for me to upgrade this to 11.2 without downloading the Install DVD.

I’ve been away from messing with Linux for a few months so I’m pretty darn rusty. I’ll run Linux for awhile and when I get frustrated I’ll move back to Windows. I’ll mess with that for a few months and then go back to Linux…

So I’m back to picking up on the Linux thing again with 11.2. can anyone give a little help?

Thanks for your help.

Download one of the CD images, that’ll be less hassle to fetch.

Upgrading that large a version gap? Don’t even think about it.

That sounds good to me. I have it downloading to my laptop and it should be ready in an hour or so.

Thanks

Remember, when you burn it, do it as slow as you can…

… yes, according to tests in computer journals
the error rates are in fact quite high and quality
of the burned media is very low when burning
with the maximum speed given by the manufacturers.

Probably very many users aren’t aware of this.

Doug_Gentry,
if you haven’t deleted the downloaded DVD image
on your HD yet (HD’s are usually more reliable …),
you could as well try to burn it once again - at slow speed.

This image must not necessarily be errorneous.

Good luck

P.S.

Doug_Gentry,
perhaps you should have a look at another recent thread in this forum,
where problems with disk images and istallation are discussed as well:

If you do this, be sure to check the md5sum of the download first,

It is far from uncommon to find a corrupted download when the .iso file is as large as this.
