Fresh install of 11.11 over 10.20

[Tony Flaherty]

I want to install 11.11 onto a machine which currently has 10.20 installed. I don't want to upgrade but start from scratch.

What is the simplest way of doing this?

Thanks,

Tony.

Hi, tony

best/simplest way is cold install

[Khalid A. Al-Tayaran]

Do a cold-install.

Hi,

Using the installation CD set for 11.11 would be the best way to do the cold install.

Never ever think about upgarding.

Possible other way:
Do you have an hwardware wise similar system?
If yes you could use ignite to install from that system to the 10.20 system.

In practice this looks the same as a cold install form cd.

If you search this forum you will find many instances of not to upgrade but to do a fresh install.

Hi Tony,

I found out (the hard way!!) it is wise to:

- keep a hardcopy of /etc/fstab (if you have more volume groups than vg00).

- plug the network cable in an 10 Mbit card, since the core OS does not support 100 Mbit cards. (s/w for 100 Mbit cards are called applications).

- keep a fresh ignite tape of your existing 10.20 system, so you can go back.

Good luck
Donald
