Mandrake 10 updates

[mblanco2000]

I am new to linux and mandrake and I am enjoying it thus far.

 

I am running 10 CE and saw this on a board recently....

Forget 10 until it comes out as Final, because 10 C has around 500 megs of

bugfixes to download.

 

Now lets see what the others have to say

How do I get the updates to 10 CE if there really are 500MB of bug fixes?

The mirrors are still kinda screwed up. There aren't many that I could find that actually have all the proper directories. Here's one:

 

ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distr.../i586/Mandrake/

 

So, you would do this to get urpmi set up properly ( choose a mirror closer to you for faster download speeds...a list of mirrors is here: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3#586 ):

 

<<skip this part if you want to just keep using your disks for stuff you haven't installed>>

 

urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia 10.0 ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz && urpmi.addmedia 10.0-2 ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2 with ../base/hdlist2.cz && urpmi.addmedia 10.0-3 ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS3 with ../base/hdlist3.cz

 

<<stop skipping>>

 

Go into MandrakeUpdate and add this as your updates source (once again, use a mirror closer to you for faster downloads):

 

ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/updates/10.0/RPMS/

 

(If you need to know, the hdlist is also at ../base/hdlist.cz)

steve, after I put the script in from easyurpmi site, I do a "urpmi.update -a" just in case. :D
