Are the 100mdk packages for Mandrake 10.0 and the 101mdk packages for 10.1? The package with the highest number is the latest, ie 0.50.53.1.101mdk is newer then 0.50.4.1-2.1.100mdk. So I always go with the package that has the highest number attached to it.

As of last week there was planned a 0.9.13 release to occur some time this week. I'm using the rpm's from 10.0 off your site at the moment and they do work but I get one or two odd things in 10.1 that were not there in 10. Like for example every time I exit the program it throws a wobbly. Not sure exactly what you mean by a wobbly. I have not noticed anything off with the app I have been using. If you can can me a specific example or 2 I will check if the same behaviour is occurring here and If there is anything I can do to prevent/correct it.

Re: [newbie] updates
Did you get a curl error? that's what I have been getting. I don't know about downloading Mandrake 10.0 Official, but, you can buy the Official Power Pack edition (5 CD's) for about $10.00 Us at: http://www.almostfreelinux.com This is how I got my current Mandrake 10.0 Community and it installed without any problems. I am very happy with it. I bought the Official 10.0 from Almost Free Linux yesterday and they shipped it the same day. I should have it arriving in the mail Monday or Tuesday - or thereabouts. I would look into downloading it, but I have dial-up and I don't feel like taking a chance on having a 20+ hour download broken ;) Ian On Friday 16 April 2004 12:50 am, Thujan wrote: Hi, I just installed mdk10.0 C and I can't get updates?

Re: [newbie] updates
If you use urpmi.removemedia you will loose access to your CD's for those things you have not installed yet when attempting to use urpmi. I suggest you go to www.urpmi.org and read more about urpmi and in particular, how to remove specific media you no longer wish to have. You can determine what media you have by viewing /etc/urpmi/urpmi.conf Know also that with a little renaming of your media you can have extra sites listed for simular media.

SInce easyurpmi doesn't have updated mirrors and I'm new to this urpmi thing, I just want to confirm: Would this be the path to the new Stable branch that I should be setting up as Main? ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/mandrake/Mandrakelinux/official/current/i586/Mandrake/RPMS Updates are easy to find or urpmi, but not Main (which is the same as core and stable, I guess) Clicking through the FTP site shows a couple of possibilities, so I just want to make sure this is the correct one, before going forward. And I assume what I'd enter in to the console would be: urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/mandrake/Mandrakelinux/official/current/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz Wasn't there a layout of the new mirror structure released somewhere.

Re: [newbie] updates mdk 10
Okay, I just checked the following for updates: Official Branch: urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/mandrake/Mandrakelinux/official/current/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz There was nothing to update on my computer, so I removed Main (which I think I'm supposed to do if I'm going to add Community). I then added and checked Community. Community Branch: urpmi.addmedia community ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/mandrake/Mandrakelinux/devel/community/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz There was nothing to update here, either. Both said, Everything already installed. After adding these sources, in both cases I did: urpmi.update -a The only updates I've done since loading the 10.0 CD ISO's are the few files that were security patches. Shouldn't I have at least gotten updates when I checked the Community branch or does this seem right to people? Rory Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I just had a browse around the Mandrake site and spotted the instructions for getting the Cassini mirror (that's under way now, but that's not why i post). In those instructions, it tells you to get the mirror and then run 'genhdlist /6.1bdir' Using this technique, could i then copy my 6.0 ISO to the hard disk. Overwrite the relevent files wth all the updates, and then update the hdlist file and create a new updated ISO image ?? Yes. The program genhdlis is in the /misc directory on the CD. Here is what I have learned: For example, I created a directory named /usr/local/newcd. I then copied all the files from the actual cd to /usr/local/newcd so that I have a /usr/local/newcd/Mandrake directory and a /usr/local/newcd/Mandrake/RPMS directory and so on. Then cd /usr/local/newcd/MISC and ./genhdlis /usr/local/newcd. First, make certain you delete the older versions of the rpm's after you have updated the rpm's. If you have any special rpm's, you could put them in the /APPS directory. You can also delete any unneeded rpm's (like the manpages for languages for which you have no need). You should also check dependencies for any replacement rpm's. I also updated the dos utilities (rawrite2, the current RawWrite for Windows, some other stuff) and included additional docs that I found useful. Also, I got the most current Lnx4Win files and even took the gui install stuff from cooker. If you want to modify the packages that are installed by default, the list is in /Mandrake/BASE/COMPS. For a simple, non-networked desktop computer, you could eliminate a lot of stuff. You could also make any special rpm's a part of the base install or any new menu choice you make. To test your "new" CD, try a hard drive install. If it works, burn yourself a new customized CD. FWIW, don't try copying and replacing files in Win9x - the CD filenames in Win9x are shown in 8.3 format and the capitalization of directory names can change causing scripts to fail to execute. Have fun. Hoyt

What is this suppose to do and how do I get it to work? it's a clickinstall program for upgrades of Linux-Mandrake. it's strange that you don't have it. To make it work install the package MandrakeUpdate (and also grpmi, gsu, wget) cu Pixel.

That just gives you a list of ftp sites around the world, then when you select the the ftp you want it connects you there, and you can download the files for update. Now check to see if you updates is linked to fule updates.kdelnk it should be in your directory /Desktop/updates.kdelnk. when your kde directory is made.
RE: [newbie] updates icon
I think the Mandrake Updates is a separate rpm. Make sure you have it installed on your system.
