Bela I can't tell you definitively, as I haven't personally done it, but I'd think Community Edition would be very close to the official release save any last minute bugs they work out before the official release. I would think you'd just need to target your urpmi sources at Official then urpmi.update -a and urpmi --autoselect ( although I'd highly consider tossing in a --test first, just to be sure). That'd grab anything but a new kernel. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

The reason I upgraded to official was that I got confused about the update system. It seems that the updates in community edition took place in the main tree, whereas in official they are located in the updates tree - as usual. Maybe I'm getting old.

I did find some issues with reliability with Community staying stable in the odd thing here and there. Remember that Community was a release candidate so didn't need to have everything tied down. I suggest that you get that Official distro and should you find conflicts with what you do then update. One other thing maybe that Community doesn't have any more 'official' updating though I not sure of that. -- Regards SnapafunFrank Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.
