[newbie] Upgrade to 8.0

[Mark Lucas]

I know that I can download the files to upgrade from 7.0 (my current setup)
to 8.0, but am unsure what to download. Can anyone offer an idiot's guide to
updating?

[newbie] Upgrade to 8.0 Traktopel?

[Greg Couch]

I have Mandrake 7.2,  can I upgrade to 8.0 Traktopel w/o burning a CD? 
I do not have MS Windows on my pc anymore, only Linux.  Hopefully that
will fix some of the problems i am encountering w/screen configuration,
email, no sound system, etc etc.

I am new to Linux and many of the names or procedures are totally
foreign to me.  So if you answer, write it so your 5 year old could
perform the steps you recommend.  Sorry but this is all new %-)
