I am a very newbie to Linux and this whole different world. I installed 9.2
a week or so ago and finally figured out how to get all the updates. I'm
using the GUI by the way. The process was successful and now if I check
there are no more updates so I think things went OK.
Two questions:
1) How do I check to see what fixes have been installed?
2) When updates are installed is there another step necessary to build a new
Kernel or does that happen automagically or do I not understand the process?
(which is quite likely)
The reason for this second question is I have a concern,that was also
mentioned in another post, about booting from a kew kernel and not being
able to fall back to the working one should something happen.
mandrake will just add the kernel to the list if you download and
install it via urpmi... do a google for easy urpmi and update the urpmi
sources..
then type urpmi kernel
it should bring up a newer kernel for you to install.
then do the same thing typing urpmi kernel-source
then when all done you can reboot and the new kernel will boot ... there
is a list at lilo boot .. your old kernel will be at the bottom of the
lit and probably say 2210 or something likethat .. an updated kernel is
2.4.22.21 i think so look for something arround that number.
