Basically like that, in couple of phases. First updated glibc, kernel, initscripts, then reboot, then updated rpm, urpmi, perl and other related parts, and finally --auto-select. I can't remember all the details anymore. Of course the process is risky, especially the first bit, but I did not have any problem other than incomplete dependencies which causes multiple tries to get the rpm/urpmi update done. Teemu
