Ran into a mild problem I was hoping the list might be able to help me out with.
I have a Mandrake server that has been faithfully running at a remote colo center for quite some time-- 247 days since the last kernel upgrade :) However, it's getting a bit out of date at this point. I went to upgrade PHP to the new version (4.3.0) and ended up finding out that they dropped support for MySQL 3.22.x; only MySQL 3.23.x is now supported. Given that I really don't feel like compiling MySQL by hand, I grabbed the latest set of RPMs and went to install them-- only to find that they require glibc 2.2. Since I'm running Mandrake 7.1, that's not exactly feasible. I know urpmi is the Mandrake equivalent of apt, but is there a way to use urpmi or some other utility to perform a remote upgrade of the system? Or do I need to set an appointment with the colo center and go down with a new pair of Mandrake CDs to upgrade it? I was thinking I could use MandrakeUpdate to convert to cooker, and upgrade that way, but it seems like that version of MandrakeUpdate is actually pre-Cooker. Any advice would be greatly welcome. --Nathan Clemons
