urpmi.removemedia -a will remove your current urpmi sources urpmi.addmedia cooker_main ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz (all on 1 line) will add Cooker as a urpmi source for the main distro urpmi.addmedia cooker_contrib ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2 with ../base/hdlist2.cz will add cooker contrib urpmi.addmedia updates ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/10.0/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz will add Mandrake 10.0 updates source Then urpmi urpmi will update urpmi itself. That will suck in a whole lot of packages. Then urpmi --auto-select will update all the remaining packages on your system. If it barfs over anything then remove the package causing grief and install it again when upgrading is complete. Finally urpmi kernel-2.6.3.4mdk will install the new kernel. Reboot to start using it. So far I have done this for 2 systems. **BUT** I would not recommend this procedure for recent Linux users. If it goes wrong you may not know how to recover the situation. When online mirrors for 10.0 are available remove the cooker sources and replace them with 10.0 sources. Have fun derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
