FS#273 - Installer does clean install instead of upgrade
I ran the 1.9.12 installer and during the startup it detected the previous installment of elive and came up with a box of upgrade or install.
I chose OK to upgrade, but the installer went through the whole install progress and made a complete install instead of an upgrade.

The 1.9.13 installer still insists on a clean install instead of upgrade.
In the Terminal I can se that it recognizes the correct version of the installed system, but it displays 1.9.13 in the gui.
The 1.9.14 installer still does a clean install instead of an upgrade (doesn’t even give the option to upgrade)
KC has reported a similar error some days ago in the channel, the cause was by using a extra /home partition (will you use it?), please try an updated version of Elive (development isos), this feature should work without problems now, very tested
I just performed an upgrade from .37 to .39
I have the following partitions:
I get the error message in grub:
elive.message not found
then the grub menu loads up with possibility to load the default elive kernel, and now I have this screen:
Booting 'Elive /vmlinuz-2.6.26.8-elive-686'
root (hd0,4)
Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue...
Of course grub can't find any files on THAT partition that's my /home partition if I remember correct...
I fixed that by doing these:
The system comes up with the request to run the fine-tune step, but nothing happens!
sl-modem-daemon and modules were installed again.
After removing sl-modem-daemon and modules and an extra reboot - then the fine-tune process runs.
/etc/sudoers was replaced with default (only root is present in that).
This hasn't been an issue for the last couple of upgrades.
right!, let me close it :)
Btw I have changed the permissions of the reporters, i think that the reporters can close their own reports, not sure now...
