I did it by leaving them in. Total of 4 pkgs had conflicts. I then did a rpm -Uvh --force on those and it was 100% successful. BTW there are plf cooker rpms and you'll want those since they upgrade the plf apps you already have. I've done it on 3 boxes so far without any real problems (a couple of .rpmnew files to move and a reboot, since I did the kernel last.) > > 2) urpmi.removemedia -a > > 3) urpmi.addmedia my local Cooker mirror add contrib-cooker from the same server and plf's cooker mirror as well as updates for 9.2 (cooker is frozen but a security hole is ssl was fixed.) > > 4) urpmi urpmi > > 5) urpmi --auto-select --auto --no-verify-rpm Don't do the --auto. The reason is that some of the deps are met by 2 or 3 rpms and you will want to chose the one that fits your box the best. > > 6) Add back plf source and reinstall anything interesting from there If you don't remove it and add the source first... no problem.

Since you already have the kernel you'll only need to restart X. James
