humano457 Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hi, since MDK 10.1 CE has been announced I've been interested in upgrading mi MDK 10.0 OF but I don't know how, I really don't want to download and burn all the four ISOs again so, is there any other way to upgrade my system?? I've read something about upgrading via urpmi but I still don't get it, does Linux itself download what is necessary or do I have to point it out? Thanks!

chris:b Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 humano, you really want to upgrade your system to a not-yet-stable Community? It's for bug hunters, the Official version will be out in november. My suggestion is that you try it on a seperate partition, do not try it on your (only) running system, unless you are very experienced. Ok, you want? First read this very carefully: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=7254 You also need: a fast, reliable connection. It will download hundreds and hundreds MB maybe 1,5 GB (depends on your system). You should be familiar with command line. Don't do this while running X ;-) Two steps: - setup your urpmi sources to community 10.1 - init 3 - # urpmi --auto-select If you survive this, come back and tell us about it. Good luck.

ac_dispatcher Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) Not sure how wise it is to upgrade like that. Even with shinny new cd's of the next release its all about luck in a upgrade. Also 10.0 uses "devfs" and 10.1 uses "udev". MDK 10.1 should be backward compatable but it may still give you some problems. Edited September 20, 2004 by ac_dispatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest headlessspider Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 what is the stable build so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thepolish Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 i just do my upgrade this afternoon with no pb: just go in 10.1 ftp tree, get the boot.iso image in images directory, burn it, and boot on choose upgrade, then fill the ftp adress of the 10.1 tree, and wait for downloading. worked great :) Thepolish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padma Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 what is the stable build so far? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 10.0 Official is the stable build. 10.1 Community is "stable" but it is really waiting one last round of bug-fixes before it is released as "Official".

adamw Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 this ought to work. devfs -> udev migration is handled, might need to remove devfs=mount from lilo.conf, though. the other big one to watch out for that I can think of is make sure that you overwrite kdmrc with kdmrc.rpmnew - apparently, if you don't, mdkkdm won't work. other than that, should be fine. (btw, my laptop hasn't had a fresh install since 9.0 :>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't take devfs out of grub, thinking it was all still back compat and working together and my cdrom and dvd weren't working right. X also stalled because of the sleep command that I traced back to devfsd>lp.script. Once devfs was disabled everyhting was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
