FWIW I'm about to u/g a SuSE 8.2 box to 9.2 - probably today 
or tomorrow sometime. I can let you know how it goes if 
you're interested. (There are another 5 to go after that 
one, so I'm hoping the process is straightforward.)

Again FWIW I've u/g'ed SuSE in the past and it's mostly 
worked OK. The big leap would appear to be from Kernel 2.4 
to Kernel 2.6: 8.2 is on Kernel 2.4 but IIRC 9.0 is Kernel 
2.6 anyway so you've already got past that one.
