3. Install latest version of slapos but will deactivate slapos-node service
(Wait till everything is ready)
4. If option --update or -u wasn't choosen slapprepare will consider

How to update you old Suse Image (Suse 12.1 or sooner)
------------------------------------------------------
Run this whole command as root:

# wget zypper remove -y slapos.node; rm -f /etc/opt/slapos/slapos.node*.rpm; easy_install slapparepare && slapprepare -u ;


Check your config
-------------------------------------------
Check your config file and your cron file
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Run:
# slapos-test
This script will check your config file for missing section or parameters

You can use the slapos.cfg.example config file as reference for slapos.cfg.
http://git.erp5.org/gitweb/slapos.core.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/slapos.cfg.example


Check dedicated cron file
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
# less /etc/cron.d/slapos

It should contain a call to slapupdate

Check your configuration directory
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# ls /etc/opt/slapos/

It should only contain your slapos configuration files and *-needed files


Configure your machine:
-------------------------------------------
LXC
++++
If you want to run lxc on you machine run these command:

# touch /etc/opt/slapos/SlapContainer-needed ; systemctl restart slapos-boot-dedicated.service

openvpn
+++++++
Openvpn by vifib for ipv6 is forced by default in the package.
- If you want to deactivate it run
# rm /etc/opt/slapos/openvpn-needed




Changes
=======

1.0a6 (2013-01-15)
------------------

* Machine tweaks: raise max AIO NR and nofile, set semaphore limits. This
allows to run many instances of apache/mysql/zope on the same machine.
* Mount /var/log on disk in order not to touch USB key.
* When running slapupdate, will update slapprepare as well.
* update crontab so that it calls slapupdate randomly. It means: not all
nodes in the same timezone will try to update at the same time (thus not
kill cache system).

1.0a5 (2013-01-07)
------------------

* autoupdate through easy_install before running slapprepare
* Force start of VPN if defined
* Add limits.conf file preventing fork bombs and ensuring root can spawn lot
of processes
