xxbeanxx Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Don't quote me on this, but I think the only way you can upgrade is to pop in the new version's install media and when it asks choose upgrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Either wait for a new version release as sugested above, or update your sources and then from a consol as root (su) run: urpmi --auto-select Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durvish Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) Use the Easy-Urpmi link at the top of the page to update your sources then as root in the console type urpmi urpmi to make sure "urpmi" is up to date then you can use the update feature in MCC to keep everything shiny and new WOOPS I shoulda read the whole post after you "urpmi urpmi" then as ANON said type urpmi --auto-select but remember this will update everything and then also add EVERYTHING e.g. if your only using kde and not something else like gnome it will update kde and then install gnome and all the other progs that are available in the Mandrake sources so you might want to hand pick your updates Edited February 15, 2005 by durvish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 then as ANON said type urpmi --auto-select but remember this will update everything and then also add EVERYTHING That's actually not true urpmi --auto-select will upgrade only these packages which are already installed in the system and which have a newer version available in any of the defined media. If the package was not installed before it won't be added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durvish Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Really, I must be getting an extra special version of the OS every year then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
