The option is there to allow an upgrade from a "different" (yet rpm-based) distro, as identified by the 'product' field (2nd line) in .discinfo. Looking at the 0.7 beta1 iso, it still identifies itself as "OLPC School Server", so upgradeany is not needed to upgrade from 0.6. It is needed to upgrade from a "vanilla" CentOS. AFAIK, upgradeany won't force "upgrade mode" -- full install mode is always available, and upgrade is only available if the installed partitions have some RPM-based OS somewhere. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

This was copied over from the earlier XS-0.7 work. I see that XS-0.6 does not include this option. Any idea why, and what the implications are? Should we be including the option or not?

What you do, is use livecd-iso-to-disk to prep a USB stick as a bootable installer. m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

Hi Daniel:
Just downloaded the install iso, before I burn this to cd should
/isolinux/initrd.img and /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz be 0 bytes in the iso?
In /isolinux/isolinux.cfg, "upgradeany" is used with full install
options, think that will force anaconda into upgrade mode.

[Server-devel] XS-0.7 beta 1 released
Hi,
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Installing_Software_0.7 now includes
instructions and a working link for a XS-0.7 beta install CD.
You can also create USB install media easier than before, and this works great.
Also, a couple of packages in the repo have been updated since last
week ("yum update" should work fine for existing installs to pull them
in) fixing a couple of minor bugs.
This version will be deployed in 6 test schools on Thursday/Friday
here in Managua. I hope to label this version as 0.7 final (if Martin
approves) on Monday morning, to be installed that day on 13 servers
sent to the island of Ometepe the day after. Any last-minute testing
appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel
