Re: [Cooker] How to upgrade from 9.1 to cooker?

Ainsi parlait Nicholas Brown :
 Is this the correct way to upgrade from using 9.1 to using cooker?
 (are other steps needed etc?)
 (existing media are; main,contrib,plf,texstar)


 urpmi.removemedia -a
 urpmi.addmedia cooker-main
 ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandr
ake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia cooker-contrib
 ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/contrib/i586 with
 ../../cooker/i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz urpmi.addmedia cooker-plf
 ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/plf/cooker with hdlist.cz urpmi urpmi
 urpmi --auto-select
 urpmi kernel

Safer bet:
- urpmi urpmi before removing your medias, to get sure you have latest 
available version for your distro
- urpmi urpmi before urpmi --auto-select, to upgrade it first

That's what I did and everything went nicely ! :-))) Actually, I didn't even 
made the standalone urpmi urpmi, but straightly did a urpmi --auto-select 
--auto --no-verify-rpm (aren't we here to test things ?! ;-)

 Looks pretty reasonable to me.  You won't know for sure until you try
 it.  You may have to resolve some dependencies by hand.

AFAIC, had no such troubles :-)

BTW, given a try yesterday to various kernel available (enterprise, mm, tmb  
2.6) and the box boots on each :-)
Always used enterprise to enjoy my Gb ram but, on a first try, couldn't have 
audigy driver running :(
So, I'm actually using 2.4.22-10mm with wich my Audigy Platinum works out of 
the box with audigy driver (nice dvd experience with xine, xmms works with 
libao output - not with alsa, alsaplayer reads CDs w/o troubles, but 
alsamixer crashes complaining with snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such 
file or directory and have no sound with grip) . The only thing is that, 
with mm, I'm stuck to 896 Mb Ram ! Not that I need the rest every days, but 
from my point of view, a _MultiMedia_ dedicated kernel (the one you're 
supposed to run to make video, audio, 3D... stuff isn't it ?) should 
definitely support one or two gigz Ram !? Or maybe the smp multimedia kernel 
does and I can run it on my single cpu box ?

Finally, IIUC, lufs support is included in mm kernel... but I can't find the 
liblufs(-devel) and lufs-tools any more nor documentation on how to use the 
module. Could so enlighten me a little please ? Still have 
lufs-0.9.5-1mdk.src.rpm, liblufs(-devel)-0.9.5-1mdk.i586.rpm and 
lufs-tools-0.9.5-1mdk.i586.rpm here, can I drop them ? Any help would be nice 
'cause I'd realy like to play with sshfs (don't even tell me about nfs ! this 
*thing* just sux !) before having to acces my job server remotely...

This is (once again) going to be a great release, softs are getting more and 
more mature, the distro makes life with a penguin always easier   (much 
than with a dog ! LOL - see the hurricane @ http://bookmax.free.fr)

Many thanks to yall Mandrakerz (devz, contribz, etc...), keep on running ! 
:-)))

BESTS

Read the description:
smp-mm is like the enterprise default kernel. So yes, it will support  
1GB and you can still run it on up box (default enterprise is smp as 
well). It might be logical if I had changed the name, but it is already so 
long...
ofcourse, alsamixer crashes if you do not use an alsa driver. if it's an 
audigy1 perhaps it works with snd-emu10k1?

shame on me, sorry :-$

agreed

arf, sorry, sound config's rather new and made a confusion :( BTW, snd-emu10k1 
was configured by default w/ kernel-enterprise but no sound came to my 
hears...
So gonna urpmize smp-mm and play a little with sound drivers before disturbing 
again...

Looks pretty reasonable to me.  You won't know for sure until you try
it.  You may have to resolve some dependencies by hand.

If you like, you can change both with statements to use the
synthesis.hdlist.cz and synthesis.hdlist2.cz (respectively).  The files
are MUCH smaller than the full hdlists.
