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.

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..

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.

 

Actually, they both use gcc 3.x.

:oops: my memory is still going bad it would seem....
