Between the same major releases (e.g. 9.0 -> 9.1)? > For merging .rpmnew files ? Yup. As far as I know urpmi doesn't do that. We get a lot of Debian folks coming in to #mandrake trying to find out how to upgrade between versions without using the installer. As it stands right now we have to tell them to use liveupdate (which we aren't really sure if it's even supported anymore) or reboot and run the installer. But even then we can't guarantee a good update. It'd be nice if there was a way for a reasonably experienced end user to do a system upgrade without rerunning the installer and without having a messed up system. I know blue sky type of stuff... but something to keep in the back of our minds as we work on urpmi etc... -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.
