Mandrake has been installed but...

[Guest carlwill]

I am a new comer from Fedora 2. Normally right after you install Fedora, you do a YUM update - Ths updates all software and kernels to the most up dated version - What is my first step in Mandrak 10.1 CE?

 

Thanks

 

All I have done is install Firefox 1.0 PR and that works pretty good.

 

I thank anyone for a point in the right direction.

 

I did Read the FAQ's but just had some other issues unless I missed it

you can do the same thing. go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ and that will help you set up sources for urpmi, Mandrake's package manager. then you can do urpmi --auto-select, which updates to latest versions. There aren't a huge amount of updates from 10.1CE ISOs to current right now, but quite a few.

Okay , I just went to that URL but I get kind of lost and maybe don't know what I am looking for there?

 

What Kernel Version should I be using on 10.1 CE?

[adamw]

erm, kernel version? easyurpmi doesn't say anything about kernels...anyway, just follow the stages. pick 10.1 CE from the drop down box. leave architecture as i586. pick servers geographically close to you from the drop-down boxes for "main" and "contrib" and make sure those two are ticked. pick a source for plf if you like, it's optional but highly recommended - it's basically for patent-encrusted stuff (and other legally problematic packages), it has stuff like emulators and the dvd decryption libs. then hit the "proceed to stage 3" button and run the commands you get in the black box as root. they will add remote urpmi sources from the servers you picked. then run urpmi --auto-select as root and it'll update all packages for which updates are available from those servers.
