I have a proxy server here at work, and can never get a LM install to do an automatic update, have to do it all after the install.
I've also tried it at home via broadband, it says checking for updates and immediately goes on to the next step. Is there any way of telling the install program to use a proxy ? And why would it say its checking and then do nothing ? ken -----Original Message----- From: Greg Meyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 February 2004 2:54:am To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Installing 9.2 with the latest and greatest (stable) On Saturday 21 February 2004 09:24 pm, Thinker wrote: > Ok, so if I go with a 9.2 install.. how can I make sure I get the > latest stable kernel and kde/gnome desktop installed off the bat?

It will be very easy to update to final from the current release candidate. That's what those of us that run cooker do every day. You basically update your urpmi sources and then simply urpmi --auto-select to upgrade all your packages to the latest. Kind of like the old Debian way of 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or whatever it is. > If I am wrong about this, I would be more than willing to install the > 10.0rc1. If you install the release candidate, just set up a cooker repository as a urpmi source and then update every day or so until 10.0 becomes final, and then change the source to the official 10.0 tree and do 'urpmi --auto-select' one more time. You should definitely update if you find some bugs, as they are being fixed daily. -- /g
