I'm sure most of you know this already but I didn't so I'll share it in case it's usefull to anyone.
As of late on Cooker, new dev and MAKEDEV packages have been coming fast and furious as of late. I thought that dev got mounted fairly early on in the boot process (as in one of the first things). As such it was a major pain to upgrade these packages as you couldn't simply freshen/upgrade them in the normal fashions. One had to use Mandrake Install or one of the ISO installs/upgrades - or so I thought and was told by others. Not so I discovered. If you enter single user mode from LILO, you can force upgrade these packages from your harddrive and reboot and poof, ur ready to rock. For those that don't know how - at the LILO splash screen simply hit esc. and that takes you to a command prompt. Type Linux -s and you'll be at the Linux CLI in single user mode (no graphics). From here, upgrade the packages and then reboot - simple huh?? Hope this helps someone. Regards, Jason Greenwood
