qeldroma Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 I am asking, because it is a productive terminal-solution with running OOffice and i need to update OOffice while system is online. So it MUST work from begin, no time for errors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 I wouldn't think it would be a good idea, as 9.0 uses (I believe) gcc 2.96 while 9.1 uses gcc 3.x, so I think you would run into some dependancy issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 No its not guarenteed, they are different distros. Different distros have different versions of the kernels, libraries, KDE, etc... But MDK 9.0 and 9.1 are pretty similar so there is a good chance it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalee Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 I've done it, but If your box is a production box, I wouldn't try it. Too much risk of something going wrong. I would think that if you are using rpms, then the worst that might happen is that gurpmi or urpmi would whine about something not being right and abort. All depends on how much risk you think you can afford to take. dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they both use gcc 3.x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted July 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I yesterday tried it via the OO-installer, but after it, every user has to make a "worstation installation" in his home directory, wht is unpretty, it should be like under LM, so that no new user has to do or install something, just to click the button. That's why i want it via RPM, to be safe, it is handled like normal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
