What do you mean? Do you mean installing without rebooting from the installer?

Well, probably copy whatever you want to update on your system to a directory
and then do rpm -UvhF *.

Hi Geoffrey,

I was using this procedure but I stopped because I discover a dependency
with a call "is_mod_necessary" of modutils without any tip about the
necessary RPM.

Besides, it is not so good, go on-line, download, try to install,
discover the dependency, switch to win98, go on-line ...

I am going after the kernel, thanks a lot!

even if you don't update for a while 2.2.16 will be out soon i think because
of security problem, but because of testing it's still not updated yet (not
a problem if you compile kernels like me :)

you should check the dependencies on the files ...and then go to rufus (or
any cooker mirror) to find the file ...

well I think the only time I tried it was with redhat 5.0 and I don't
think I've done it since.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct

So ..I take it from the reponses that Mandrake Staff Do not care what end
users think? Only Linux Gurus and geekheads matter. Hm Smells of a
Microsoft Attitude to me. I just want a stable system. I want a customizable
system. I want a system that I can learn with. Is that to much to ask? Maybe
I am not a developer/coder/compiler kind of person. I do know what I am. I
am an end user/computer business owner that builds his own machines and
machines for others. I know that when I put hardware in a system it needs to
be able to work with the OS... let me rephrase that... maybe this is the
whole industry problem the OS needs to work with ANY hardware. What a
Novel Idea. I just think it was real odd that the oxygen iso was stable...
at least it seem that way. Then along comes AIR  2 different upload
times and a mandrake7.0 iso in a different directory all in the same
night? I just don't understand why there wasn't a "stable" version out.
Kernels are tested... listed as stable when they are ready for end users to
download. Why not with OS distros? I feel like I am being laughed at because
I am unable to get mandrake 7.0 to stay working for more than a day. Beleive
me... If it was my fault it was screwing up I would be FIRST to admit it.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct

Yes.. I thought this would be the case also.. BUT.. after going on 7 clean
Installs. I double checked...When you select a main category you assume it
means EVERYTHING in that category will be selected. Just to double check
I selected every category heading. Then I proceeded to expand EVERY tree.
Guess what... there were intermittent packages NOT selected throughout the
whole tree. Beleive Me I WANT mandrake 7.0 to work.I get it installed..
everytime.. something goes haywire to mess up the WHOLE system. I have tried
it on 2 different machines. I have run ontrack diagnositc on the hard drive.
I have run Western Digital Diag on the Hard drive... I even wrote zeros to
the drive. HOPING it would fix the prob. It just seems to me that Oxygen was
more stable than AIR. OXYGEN kicked!

To select all packages, you can click one time on each packages class in
the big rpm class list (don't unroll the tree, just click on class,
they'll get white : it means all packages of this class are selected)
Pixel: i think that add the "select all" button is a good idea

I disliked this too, (I had downloaded 3 different ISO files and 
installed them) then I accidentally discovered that if you click on a 
certain part of the line on a category, it will select everything under 
it!
This has saved me a lot of time in the next 2 ISOs I downloaded!

The Web site has a feature list.

Over and above that, Mandrake 7.0 features upgrades of your favorite
packages, which include tons of new features and bug fixes.  Too many to
list, in fact :)
