For application updates: 1. Open 'konsole'. 2. Type 'su' (and your password). 3. Type 'urpmi.removemedia -a'. 4. Go to "http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php"; and follow the instructions there (choose 'cooker'). Copy and paste the three lines you get into 'konsole' (and press 'Enter' so that the last line is executed too). 5. Type 'urpmi.update -a'. Wait! :) 6. Type 'urpmi --auto-select' and follow the instructions. Each time you want to update the applications, follow step 1, 2, 5 and 6 above. You might want to add '--auto' in step 6 to avoid answering any questions. Note: 'cooker' is unstable. Sometimes the updates may break some applications. Just wait a day, and then do another update. For just kernel updates, follow steps 1, 2 and 5, and type 'urpmi kernel'. Then select the kernel you want. When 10.0 is relased (and you want a stable distro), install that, and execute step 1 to 6 again, now choosing '10.0' as the version in step 4. Any future updates using 'urpmi' should then only fix things, not break them! ;) -- Karl Ove Hufthammer
