You can read this as a start: http://mandriva.vmlinuz.ca/index.php/SysAdmin/Urpmi/Upgrade All told though it would be better to download an iso CD's/DVD for 2006 ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/iso/2006.0/i586/ and use that to *install*, keeping your $HOME dir intact and upgrade just the distribution ... This is what I've been doing with success.
HTH p.s. There is also the cooker how-to for upgrading to cooker. I'm am not saying you should just yet but it has some valuable insights, http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/CookerHowTo for using urpmi to upgrade. -- RickS Lesson: after writing down your password, eat your sticky notes rather than leave them on the monitor 8) ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
