maybe someone here has some experience in this; if worse comes to
worst i can, i suppose, do an ftp from my desktop machine, though i
like to keep it all buttoned up.
here's the deal: i am running paid-for 7.1 on the notebook machine
and paid-for 7.2 on the desktop. the notebook is a thinkpad 760 which
does not allow both the floppy and the cd reader at the same time,
and cannot boot from the cd. i tried doing an update from a 7.1 boot
with the 7.2 cd, and it seemed happy until it got to where it told me
to boot from the cd, which i cannot do. this leaves the possibility
of using the boot floppies to get to the update files -- where? can i
point to a suse ftp site and reasonably expect the update to take
place? (the update from cd worked perfectly on my wife's machine, all
settings maintained, no problem -- even had anti-aliasing working by
default, which is pretty cool given her machine's lcd panel.)
anyway, i'm trying to upgrade the suse on the notebook machine via
the easieat route possible. ideas?

there's more to history than what's in books;
that's why it took so long to happen.
