Since you're on VB 1.5, which is based on Fedora 11, you have several choices for upgrading to SBS 7.5.4: 1. Stay on Fedora 11 and VB 1.5 and upgrade to the official Slim Devices SBS 7.5.4: Login to your VortexBox; see http://info.vortexbox.org/tiki-index.php?page=Login. Then enter Code: -------------------- rpm -Uvh http://downloads.slimdevices.com/SqueezeboxServer_v7.5.4/squeezeboxserver-7.5.4-1.noarch.rpm -------------------- This is the simplest solution, but you won't have all the new features in VB 1.8, like DVD ripping. 2. Upgrade to Fedora 14 and VB 1.8 using the command-line upgrade; see http://vortexbox.org/documentation/how-do-i-update-my-vortexbox-from-version-1-5-to-the-current-release/ This will preserve all your SBS settings, plugins, etc. but you can run into problems. After the upgrade, you'll have SBS 7.5.4 from the VortexBox repository. If you run into trouble, post on the VortexBox forum and we'll try to help. This in-place upgrade from Fedora 11 to Fedora 14 is not always an error-free process. 3. Upgrade to Fedora 14 and VB 1.8 doing a clean install from the iso; see http://vortexbox.org/documentation/vortexbox-quick-install-guide/. You'll have to figure out what additional steps are needed because of your 6TB setup. Backup all your SBS settings, plugins, and playlists to another computer before you start, and restore them after the upgrade, or else you'll lose them. After the install, you can upgrade to the latest VB code and pick up SBS 7.5.4 from the VortexBox repository. If you choose 2. or 3., be sure to have a complete backup of your VBA media library before you start. -- Ron Olsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Olsen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83244 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
