Yes. Navigate to an "updates" folder for version 10 on one of the ftp trees. Download and burn everything in the folder to a cd. Then add that cd to your sources and Mandrake update will use it to automatically find what you have installed and update it.

I"m going to do that cause i also have a slow 56k dial-up at home. So far at work, i"ve downloaded all the rpms from:

http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/mandrake/offi...ates/10.0/RPMS/

Do the list files hdlist.cz and synthesis.hdlist.cz also needed from :

http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/mandrake/offi...ates/10.0/base/ ?

Think it"s better to burn them (1.1Gb) on a DVR-RW and update it monthly.

Got a problem...

My downloaded rpms are in a folder "updates_030904". I try to build the hdlist.cz file with:

[root@smoothwall /]# genhdlist /home/patsio/updates_030904/ ...and i got the following error:

"Directory path to parse should be relative at /usr/bin/genhdlist line 63"

What"s that? Any help pls?

:(

Ixthusdan:

 

I downloaded the updates from the ftp site you linked to and burned them to a CD. After adding the CD within Media Manager, I was able to install the files.

 

Everything appeared to install OK, however, I did see this error on completion:

 

there was a problem during the installation

....retrieving falied: curl failed: exited with 7 or signal 0

 

If I return to Mandrake Update, it no longer lists any needed updates. So I am assuming that my installation went OK. Is there a way to check?
