Those two are the ways I am familiar with with my own FreeBSD systems
and a gentoo system I got.
you can add rpm package sources using urpmi.addmedia (usr the wizard
in http://www.urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php) then upgrade the system by
running these commands
urpmi urpmi
urpmi --auto-select
the kernel has to be installed manualy
urpmi kernel
more info from http://www.urpmi.org/
and of course tha man pages for urpmi, urpmi, urpmi.addmedia, urpmi.cfg,
urpmi.update, urpmi.removemedia
I usually upgrade this way and it always worked for me (with little
manual tweaking), but note that mandrake claim 10.0 to be the first
release upgradable in this manner.
cheers,
Alaa
