It's not a package manager in the sense I think you are using, it's an archive viewer. It can look inside RPMs and even install them IIRC. MandrakeUpdate isn't specifically a KDE app but it can be run from a KDE environment (or a gnome, or ther environment too). OK at this point I'm assuming you've set an update source and a new source for 9.2 (you're trying to upgrade to 9.2, right?) To upgrade to 9.2 is really a three stage process, maybe a four step one. 1) use Easy urpmi and select a mirror site for main, contrib, plf, whatever else you like, and follow those directions. You should then have a number of command lines to cut/paste from your browser to your root konsole/terminal, executing these one command at a time. If successful, you will have synthesis/hdlists for each one of as many sites or branches you wish. It may be necessary to repeat one or more of these steps, if there is a connection problem. 2) Actually do the upgrade to 9.2: urpmi --auto-select 3) get coffee/other strong drink (that's why I said a four step process) 4) urpmi kernel (auto-select does not upgrade the kernel. That has to be done separately). 5) (first shalt thou count to 5 ... 1 2 3 5 .. no wait, wrong grp) urpmi --auto-select --update (I think that's right, you want to install now just the updates for 9.2). > I finished downloading the sources. What happened to the 39+ MB? They're probably hiding somewhere in /var/lib/urpmi. > Hoyt -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
