Guest letusplay Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 ok, I'm planning to upgrade my Mandrvia 2008.1 Powerpack to 2009, as I have downloaded the image and burned to DVD(unfornately I did not keep the image file), I wonder if it's possible to do an upgrade install with the urpmi command to add repositories from the DVD instead of the FTP source, I do not want to download the same contents again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 You could just boot from the DVD and upgrade that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindwave Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 You could just boot from the DVD and upgrade that way. or rip the DVD to an ISO file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest letusplay Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 You could just boot from the DVD and upgrade that way. But I'd like to keep KDE3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 You can keep KDE3, just make sure you don't have KDE 4 selected when you go for upgrade, and ensure that KDE 3 is selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 It won't upgrade KDE 3, though. The KDE 3 packages are not on the disc. It will keep the 2008 Spring KDE 3 packages, which probably will not work too well in a 2009 environment. You can add the content of the disc as a repository, yes, and then *also* add online repositories; then do the urpmi upgrade as advised on the Release Notes. It will use the DVD for all the packages it can, and then grab the rest from the internet repositories. I don't honestly quite remember the syntax for adding a disc as a repo, but it's quite simple and I think is in the manpage. If you can't figure it out, post back and I'll look it up.
