I was using urpmi, it is nice, but it's much slower then APT and less flexible, just my feeling, I didn't compare every feature and timed it. > do what i did a couple of times: > updates the medias and update all rpms (worked from 8.1 to 9.0, and 9.2rc2 to > 9.2 "final") I did it once or twice, I got my system messed up so good that I had to reformat and install from scratch. I had rpms from both distributions, with libraries from both and the worse thing configuration files from both, it did not managed to upgrade something because of some third party rpms I had and from there it was just downhill. > > So do I have to compile everything and make a tar file distro? > you can use stage 3. no compilation needed. > no h/w autodetection. usb disk on key is not automagically mounted.
