Re: [opensuse] Easy upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1 from iso

Hi,
First of all thanks for the answers. After trying once more booting from
11.1 DVD, starting the installation and choosing the "update" (not
mentioned as upgrade as i can remember) worked well this time. I must
seen something wrong before.

Regards

Hi list,

I have downloaded the 11.1 installation iso, burned it and boot it from
my laptop which 11.0 is installed. I was expecting that i will get an
upgrade option which will only upgrade the packages and save my data and
modifications but the upgrade option of the nstallation program of 11.1
seem to format the whole disks. So i have cancelled the operation. These
kind of things were solved before including other distribitions so does
anybody know why this is so on 11.1 and is there a simple way (not
needing to use my linux information)?

The upgrade option is there, as always.
