@Mr. Williamson: I'll try what you've suggested, it seems to be a logical step, I'm hoping it works, thanks for the tip :)
@Pixel: $ ls -la /etc/mandrake-release -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45 Oct 8 12:47 /etc/mandrake-release Content: Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Cooker) for i586 Could it be that setup doesn't realize that this is a diferent version, and thats why it doesnt offer to upgrade? Although, it still seems there is an upgrade problem with the installer, but hopefully Mr. Williamson's suggestion will allow us to upgrade while the installer bug is fixed. @All: Thanks for the replies and help :) On Thursday 27 March 2003 09:17 am, Adam Williamson wrote: > On Thu, 2003-03-27 at 14:01, Pascal Cavy wrote: > > > > can you tell us what criterias are used to check this on DrakX ? > > > > (is it the mandrake-release rpm ?) > > > > > > well, /etc/mandrake-release *file* > > > > so cooker beta testers can upgrade their machines by replacing this file > > with the one from 9.0 ? > > Here's what both you and Adam Caudill actually want to know: > > You don't need to run the CDs to update 9.1RC2 or a recentish Cooker to > 9.1. All you need to do is define urpmi sources for main and contrib > from a mirror's 9.1 directory, then run 'urpmi --auto-select -v' (as > root), and it'll update to 9.1. No need to use the installer.
