Where do I need to go for updates to this as they come out? What servers do I need to point mcc to for updating or how do I need to use uprmi to make sure that this stays good and, um.. up to date?
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').
OK.. I chose cooker.. but what about these other options?
1. Show base distro sources? 2. Show specific sources too?
And what should I do when it asks me to select a mirror? I have selected several mirrors only to find that either they were not there, not functioning or contained software with bad signatures. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good mirror containing valid signatures and complete software?
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! :)
Not to be picky but since he just added the media the freshest hdlist.cz is
already there. This step can be skipped _only_ when you just added a software
source.
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.
Also, is there a way to have, say, more than one source for main, more than one for contrib, and more than one for updates.. to make the downloads go faster possibly?
Lastly, is there a command to type once this is done to update the system. I am switching back to Mandrake from using SuSE for about year now. I suppose I am looking for something along the lines of 'SuSEconfig'?
