hi
I have Mandrake 9.2 installed, and I want to upgrade to Mandrake10.
I started from cd, until I could choose which cds I have. there I wasn't sure if everything was correct, so I pressed the button back. but it started to upgrade my system. so I rebooted my computer. if I now want to make the upgrade again, I can't (Mandrake does not ask, just install is possible). I can still boot 9.2, but the system installed the following packages:

rpm-4.2.2-7mdk Sun Jun 6 14:33:08 2004
perl-5.8.3-5mdk Sun Jun 6 14:33:02 2004
perl-base-5.8.3-5mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:58 2004
libbeecrypt6-3.1.0-2mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:57 2004
setup-2.4-3mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:56 2004
popt-1.8.2-7mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:55 2004
gawk-3.1.2-3mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:54 2004
libbzip2_1-1.0.2-17mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:53 2004
elfutils-0.89-3mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:53 2004
bzip2-1.0.2-17mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:53 2004
libelfutils1-0.89-3mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:52 2004
glibc-2.3.3-10mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:37 2004
bash-2.05b-16mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:33 2004
sash-3.6-5mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:32 2004
ldconfig-2.3.3-10mdk Sun Jun 6 14:32:31 2004

how can I tell the installer to upgrade my Mandrake9.2?

would it help to downgrade the above listed packages to 9.2? is that possible, because it lists glibc, ldconfig, ..?

thanks,
Marco

I don't know why the upgrade option isn't there, first i have heard of that problem........But upgrading often causes other problems for some people. My advice would be to do the install, and when it gets to the part about "using existings partitions" select the custom (expert) option. Let it format everything except your home partition. that way you will not lose any personal files.

have you tried an expert install?

Maybe add the CDS to your media manager (sources)? Then do URPMI --auto-select --auto?

I think that would work.
