Hi, tested this on yesterday with the up to date mga 2 by installing upgrade prepare rpm and rebooting and selecting the "upgrade to mga3 option" from grup and then adding the cauldron repositories. Then I started the install with "urpmi.update -a" "urpmi --download-all --auto-select" Install started fine and offered that I have about 2200 rpm's to update. During the install some package seemed to hang (I don't remember anymore which one) and I canceled install with ctrl-c and saw message about error in postinst section. I run urpmi.update again and then "urpmi auto-select" and somehow ended up to situation where all my network interfaces are down and about 900 rpm's fail to install as some of their dependencies are missing. I tried to download and copy the missing rpm's with another computer to usb stick, but usb fails to mount... (I can not see /dev/sdb, etc... only /dev/sda which is my harddisk) Questions: 1) If I copy them missing rpm's to device by using the rescuq disc, do I need to select again the "upgrade to mga3 option when booting to mandriva" or is it one time operation that has been done in first boot. 2) Is there some trick for getting network up? Now ifconfig command shows only the "lo" interface. Mika
