But remember, there are still lots of kernel variations from the updates media. You still need to specify kernel type/version. > ... and press tab on your keyboard.

It's still safe to just type "urpmi kernel-" or "urpmi php-" for example because it will give you a list of packages that contains "kernel" or "php" as their package names. > The post-install script of kernel package does boot loader detection, > changes to config file and invoke lilo as it see fits so editing is not > usually necessary. Yes, but I find my LILO config (I don't know with GRUB) messy. That's why, I usually edit my /etc/lilo.conf to have a neat config. > Change that to > > urpmi.update updates && urpmi --media updates --auto --auto-select > > to make it non-interactive. :-) Yes. If you want to make it non-interactive, add it with an option of "--auto". But as my personal practice, I still verify first the packages that needs to be updated. --- MARVIN T.
