Any and all discussion of testing platforms are actually off-topic here - the specific policies regarding upgrades from testing to release are as Alexander stated - unsupported - no doubt stealing another thread would be considered bad form on a SuSE list too - Alexander is without question THE most generous and patient person on this list (note - not a bit of equivocation) - now that you have made certain that he will not reply to your questions, you should consider your reactions before you alienate others too. I think that he assumed that since you seemed to care little for protocol (stealing a thread, posting off topic questions), that you were ill equipped to be setting up a server on a test platform. - as for your assertion that Alexander's answer was 'the most un-useful' reply, it actually fully and completely answered your question. If that is insufficient, you should probably stay with SuSE. Craig
