Guest jugler Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hi again I have done all above but still not have a clue how to update my system by using that urpmi command. Can someone point me to a direction please? Thanks robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) For each release, Mandriva provides official updates, mostly security fixes. To get those, add an updates source from the easyurpmi site and, as root, do: urpmi --update --auto-select Or, run MandrakeUpdate from terminal or the Menu > System > Configuration > Packaging. There are gui frontends to the urpmi family of commands at that spot As new updates are added to the mirror, you have to download the new package list to urpmi's database: urpmi.update --update then run the first command to see if there are new packages to install. Read the manual pages; man urpmi man urpmi.addmedia man urpmi.update man urpmf man urpmq and the manuals listed at the bottom of each man page. There is a pretty intense tutorial about using urpmi here: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/UsingUrpmi Also, there are comprehensive manuals at the Doc link at the top of the MandrivaLinux main page: http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en-us/ Edited July 23, 2005 by rolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
