I have worked with other kinds of linux like redhat before but this is
the first time I am working with mandrake.

I have a machine with mandrake 8.2.  I want to update ist packages.
Tried to use rpmdrake but it failed asking me to skip packages.

then I try to upgrade to 10.1. I have a hardware raid in this machine.

When it came to upgrade it presented me with two mirrored hard drive
allowing me to chose one of t hem, not the raid though.

I tried both of them, one at a time of course but it complains:

An error has occured. Oops cannot find the root partition. Of course
the root partition is there since it is working fine.

Tried to install yum but it needs rpm-helper. try to install it, it
conflicts with some other packages.

Is there any way in the world of updating or upgrading this machine ?

Please advice. It's driving me crazy
