10.1.3 Updating with YaST
Following the preparation procedure outlined in Section 10.1.1, "Preparations"
(page 211), you can now update your system:
1 Optionally, prepare an installation server. For background information, see Sec-
tion 4.2.1, "Setting Up an Installation Server Using YaST" (page 56).
2 Boot the system as for the installation, described in Section 3.3, "System Start-
Up for Installation" (page 18). In YaST, choose a language and select Update
in the Installation Mode dialog. Do not select New Installation.
3 YaST determines whether there are multiple root partitions. If there is only one,
continue with the next step. If there are several, select the right partition and
confirm with Next (/dev/hda3 was selected in the example in Section 10.1.1,
"Preparations" (page 211)). YaST reads the old fstab on this partition to analyze
and mount the file systems listed there.
4 In the Installation Settings dialog, adjust the settings according to your require-
ments. Normally, you can leave the default settings untouched, but if you intend
to enhance your system, check the packages offered in the Software Selection
submenus or add support for additional languages.
4a Click Update Options to update only software that is already installed (Only
Update Installed Packages) or to add new software and features to the system
according to selected patterns. It is advisable to accept the suggestion. You
can adjustment it later with YaST.
4b You also have the possibility to make backups (Backup) of various system
components. Selecting backups slows down the update process. Use this
option if you do not have a recent system backup.
5 Click Accept and confirm Start Update to start the software installation process.
At the end of the installation read the release notes and then click Finish to restart the
computer and log in.
