[Xastir] Looking for a SUSE user for some advice.

[ke4lkq]

I have used SUSE since 9.0.... and I have NEVER had an UPGRADE work.  
I install as a new installation, having kept all my configuration info such as 
all special config files, program installations files, (rpm's, src's, etc) 
BACKED UP.  Even then things need to be tweeked betwenn different versions of 
the same vendor because of things they do not tell you untill you see the 
error or message as needing an upgraded this or that or a fall back library.

I save everyting in all the "etc" directories as well as all the  
dot(something) files in you home directory for a basis to begin configuring 
all the new stuff...  Sorry that it is not as simple as an upgrade like they 
tell you, I have always got something or other really clobbered and had to 
install from scratch so often that I do not even attempt an upgrade of ANY 
distro.. anymore.

I'll try to help you all I can, just let me know what you run up against. 
Upgrades? Bad idea.....

You may want to wait untill 10.2 this fall.  Suse has taken some code out of 
the kernel in the 10.1 version that may or not affect you. That code was not 
to be taken out until later versions. This breaks support for some special 
hardware that I use. I have more than 1 developer (commercial) working on 
these problems.  Xastir is okay.....
