Re: [newbie] 'URPMI auto-select' while logged in to KDE?
On Saturday 06 March 2004 1:02 pm, Thinker pondered and enlightened us with: I am following the advice given by Derek Jennings for updating 10.0rc1 to full 10.0 release status. My question, before I 'urpmi --auto-select' is this.. I am currently logged in to KDE and I am sure several other things are running. Should I get out of KDE and stop what services I can BEFORE I attempt to update everything? What is the safest environment to be in when updating? I am currently running KDE, playing mp3s with XMMS and browsing the web while urpmi --auto --auto-select is working its tail off. Its no big deal using your box while upgrading. If stuff stops working, maybe its time to take a break at let urpmi do its job. I've done this once before, and its just fine. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

YMMV If you are worried then do a backup before proceeding. Note: If there is a preexisting config file in /etc which conflicts with the config file from a new package the old config file will be left in place and the new one will be suffixed .rpmnew You should review these files after install is complete to see if there is anything new which needs configuring. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
