I need to update a fresh 9,2 install bye console, because i cannot enter X without installing ati Driver. But if i install ati driver then i cannot update mdk 9.2 by updrake becasue it says me that the news xfre864.3.2 pkgs conflict with ati driver. So i wanna update by console and AT THE END install ( force option ) the ati driver.
I'm looking for a command that do the same work/update that updrake does.
I went to mandrake site and get the ftp url with update...but i checked...the file in RPM dir seems to few...when i installed by updrake i got about 300 mb of stuff.
Also, it seems that urpmi.addmedia seems the way to do this install but i dunno what options i must insert ( name of font....what'sthe cz files ? i know only the ftp path ).
but i got error. It says me he cannot upgrade main..or hdlist, don't
remember.
Then i typed : urpmi.removemedia -a
and again the urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.edisontel.com/pub/Mandrak...6/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz
ok, resolved. Courtrb you was right, maybe it was a problem connectinf to ftp. I simply relaunched for the XXth time the command and all worked ok.
However, just 1 hour ago, a guy says me that there was a way to enter X without installing ati driver...sigh...sniff....i had simply to go to textual MCC, then dysplay manager and then select VESA driver...grrrr....what a waste of time.
However a big thanks to all of you...and, if u permit me, also a little thx to my winXp that make me capable of surfing the web looking for help about linux
