I’ve grabbed the torrent for openSUSE 10 beta 3 and decided to bite the bullet, skip the installation into VMware to test it and instead, just install over my home system using the “System Update” feature, using mounted isos on the existing file system. Andreas has written a wee script to setup the installation source. Works like a charm!
The great thing about Linux is that I’m still able to work while such a huge update is going on. No doubt there’s things I shouldn’t do, but web browsing, email and akgregator are working fine while all that stuff up there is being installed.
Moment of truth in 46:41…will the thing boot?
