Re: hardware in suse 10



George:
you may "take" the fstab line from your old (9.3) system.
It will work.
By the way: you may just try to mount them (CDROM/DVD) on top a directory
which does not exist anymore.

No panic there: Just look at the /etc/fstab file, the CDROM is probably now
mounted on top of /media/dvd or something like this... and this directory
must exist. If not just create it as root. (mkdir).

I remember it has been some changes there... and an upgrade is in this
area not as straight-forward as a full reinstall!

If you could move all your vital data to a DVD or a differnt partition, and
you experience further problems a fresh reinstall may be useful.
But of course no-one like this!

Upgrading RPM based distros has mostly been a pain!
I have read claims that some distros do better in this area.
Good luck,
