Hi All,
I know this is a basic processbut it has thawarted me for months.
I simply want to up-grade my software from Mndrk8.0 to Mndrk8.2. Rpmdrake
and urpmi don't work for me, All i see is packages errors,errors or
already installed. I can't figure what I am doing wrong. SO here I am...
I have a directory named "NewStuff" (Unique name huh?) NewStuff is full
of RPM's downloaded from a Mndrk mirror. I downloaded the whole
directory of Mndrk 8.2.(I did this last night by ftp for the 10th time.)
I also dwnld the iso images, but believe they were courupted in transit.
What simple thing am I not doing??? Guess that is a hard
question.**Better question is how to proceed from here. I got the RMPs
(Not source). Do I use rpm them one at a time?*** That will be a while.
For the first time Rpmdrake did not freeze (Maybe it is the new cpu?) I
got to the point where Rpmdrake asked for the CD's... but they are 8.0
and I thought on three occations I gave the path to "NewStuff". Each
time as path to source "NewStuff" is typed in it disapears "poof!". I
removed CD's a source and poof they return in the list. Root or user
neither makes a difference.
Help Please....
Andrew
