red Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Becasue of the current state of updates (bein unavailable for 9.2) I have been using 2005 LE with Virtual PC and am ready to upgrade my 9.2 box. My question is, will this upgrade even work or will I experience problems. Should I just whack the drive and do a clean install? Thanks, RED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Best bet is a clean install, just don't format your /home partition when you install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I agree: you should do a clean install. I tried the update path, starting from Mdk10.0. To my great surprise, the shift from XFree86 to X.Org was perfect, down to the smallest detail. But I had, and still have a problem with the change from devfsd to udev. My Mdv2005 currently tries to run both! That's why I don't advise to upgrade. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yves. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I managed to fix the devfsd issue when I upgrade from 10.0 to LE2005, but you had to find the files and edit accordingly, comparing against a 10.1 system to figure out where the problem was, and what text to put! :P Still, clean install is probably better than an upgrade. At least you don't have to worry about things that might/might not work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellis Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I upgraded from 10.0 to 2005LE, and ran into the devfs/udev problem. Luckily, Ian had primed me about this and I managed to get it sorted out.
