linux_trojan Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 is there a way to upgrade Mandriva to the newest release within the OS rather than burning a new CD iso? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Search for "--auto-select" or "--auto-update" in previous posts, and you should find many usefull tips. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Use the Mandriva Linux Control Center to remove all your sources. Go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org and follow the instructions for the desired version, you need at least the main source but it is recommended that you include also contrib and non-free. If you want access to a lot of extra programs that are not officially 'approved' you can also add the plf-free and plf-nonfree sources. Note also the licenses for these are different! Make sure the command that you obtain to be typed is all on one line - word wrap will destroy the command. This will download the package list (around 10MB) Now execute urpmi --auto-select This will ask to update lots of packages and their dependencies. Accept... wait... wait a little more (it may ask to remove some packages, this is normal as some programs become obsolete or conflict with new versions)... wait for the installation...and enjoy. http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/urpmi/Upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
