Hi, I run a Kurobox HG with Linux kernel 2.4.17 and Perl 5.8.5 and am running Slim Server 6.3.0. I don't have any package management on this box so I have always used the TAR file to install and upgrade. I am by no means a Linux expert and am a little rusty. Here is my current upgrade procedure:
------------------------------------------ To Update SlimServer Check that perl version is at least at recommended level: # perl -v Update perl if need be first. Download the tar.gz SlimServer source to \mnt\share on KuroBox Unpack it: # tar xzvf [SlimServer Package File] Stop SlimServer: # kill [pid] Move current SlimServer directory: # mv /usr/local/slimserver /usr/local/slimserver.old Move new SlimServer to directory: # mv /mnt/share/[SlimServer...] /usr/local/slimserver Start SlimServer # ./slimserver.pl --daemon --prefsfile /usr/local/slim-data/slimserver.pref --cachedir /usr/local/slim-data # ------------------------------------------------ Do I need to do anything different to go to SS 6.5? Also, I haven't been running "./build-perl-modules.pl" which I just found in the Gentoo instructions. What does this do and should I add this step for my platform? Thanks, EB -- earthbased ------------------------------------------------------------------------ earthbased's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=334 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27546 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
