Hi Folks!
Having used Mandrake6.1 for a couple of months I decided
to did deep and buy through Cheapbytes version 7.0, the $1.99
single CD one :-)
After a huge amount of hassles because the installation
took offence to my hardware (Pentium200mmx, noname Mobo,
64mb ram, and S3Virge PCI) I finally
MDK 6.5 doesn't exist. Macmillan took Mandrake 6.1, put it in a shrink wrap
package, and then called it Mandrake 6.5.

Actually they called it Macmillan Complete Linux 6.5. The box very clearly
states that it is Mandrake v6.1

How does one go about upgrading mandrake from 6.1 to 6.5?
If the process is too long, could someone point me towards the proper
documentation to read?

a couple questions here..
Does everyone d/l the updated RPM's and then install them or use the
update icon on the desktop? (the one where you pick a server, then the
updates, it d/l's them and installs them for you) Is there any advantage
to either? Disadvantages?
Second question, **HEY
I download them and then install with the kpackage manager or whatever
you call it. You hit file on the package manager, hit open, guide the
package manager to the location of the package that you want to open.
works lahk a sharm.

There are now no less that 35 rpms in the Mandrake 6.0 ftp
upgrade directory... isn't than nearly a new distribution in its own
right? (There are still only 6 in the 5.3 upgrade
directory...)
How am I supposed to know which I need? (I get a Gtk widget
error and strnge errors with
10 matches
