Here are the instructions to go from 7.0 to 7.1.
1) Make system bootable from a CD.
2) Stick CD in and reboot.
3) Select "upgrade"
4) Read a good Linux book until the process is complete
I suspect you can hang onto these instructions Jeff; they'll work from 7.1
to 7.2 as
so when one does the upgrade option with mandrake, when it's finished all of your
exiting installed programs will still work? and all of your user preferences will
still exist? and all the little tweaks and changes you have made will still be
there?? this sounds simply too good to be

I just looked at my notes from when I upgraded last summer. It went
pretty smoothly, but very, very slowly. I was accustomed to doing fresh
installs in about 45 minutes, so I wasn't prepared for what may have
been an all night session. I started at 10 pm. An hour later, the

As a newbie to Linux and a happy user of Mandrake 7.1 I too am waiting
eagerly for the new Mandrake. However as a newbie am already concerned
about what I would need to do to upgrade to it.

Shame on you Paul. You must be doing actual work on your computer
