Hi thanks for ximian red carpet, it rocks! though red-carpet-1.2.1-ximian.2.i586.rpm can't seem to upgrade RPM 3 to 4, or upgrade to more recent Mandrake; maybe coz its built for mdk 7.0. the attempting to use red-carpet-1.3.4-1.ximian.3.i586.rpm for mdk 8.2 will not install, as dependency failures with glibc, rpm etc
Slug archives disguss deb upgrade from RPM3 to 4 and I couldn't find mention of using RH rpm to upgrade from RPM 3 to 4, or in other linux lists, even mdk lists. a little ironic.... maybe I get a set of Mdk 8.2 cds or just grin and bear it and migrate to deb..... it seems to be much smoother, though on first go, v much more overwhelming for this linux newbie you wrote------------------------ On Sun, 2002-07-21 at 19:50, Russell Davie wrote: > > or just go the the full upgrade to mandrake 8.2? This is by far the easiest solution. Take a look in the slug archives, there is probably a way around this in there. I remember some pointers to this when RH updated to RPM 4 a while back. You might try red carpet from ximian, when I was Red Hatting this upgraded some stuff very quickly and easily.
