unless of course my btdownloadcurses.py is full of it... LOL... |
yes but ISOs don't reflect the size of the CD once it is burned. Can someone put a really simple guide to upgrading for this newbie? (i.e. me?)

so when you burn that 51MB ISO to CD, and you mount the cd, you'll notice it has 50MB (insignificantly less than the size of the ISO)... try with the slackware 10.1 cd1 - as you can see on any mirror, the slackware 10.1 cd1 ISO weighs 634MB... so look what happens when i mount my slackware 10.1 cd 1: Code:
bash-3.00# mount /mnt/cdrom/ Quote:

Yes but for example some ISOs are over 700MB but still fit on a CD. Back on topic though, can someone post a painless upgrade guide? I have 10.1 installed and want to get updated because trying to update KDE to 3.4.2 on 10.1 a week ago messed it up and I really have almost no experience with Linux.

oh heh thanks. Yes, I think that is due to metadata that some ISOs are above 700MB, like I have seen ISOs that are 720MB but I am pretty sure they get smaller once you burn it somehow.
Oh wait I'm very confused can I do all that in KDE or do I have to quite KDE? I would rather be able to do it from Konsole than going into pure console, because it feels more powerful and easy to wreck things. Will this overwrite my existing LILO setup? I had to modify it to get Windows to boot so I don't want to lose that and have to set it up again. |

oh ok. but how do I know which parts to download? should I download the entire CD1 or just packages from the package browser? How would that work anyway?
|
Excellent!!
I've been waiting for this moment for some time! Right on:-) |

Are you sure I need both? I think CD2 is only necessary for extra things. Oh wait- is KDE on CD2? Oops, never mind then. Argh, I just installed 10.1 a few weeks ago too. Downloading...
Oh hey wait people said things like using swaret and slapt to upgrade, that sounds much easier and won't waste 2 CDs. Can someone post a tutorial on how to do that, or is that little modification all that is needed? I'll check it out on the weekend, 2 AP classes and 2 honors are really sucking the life out of me. |

i'm sorry i can't give you any info or tips about upgrading and stuff, i've honestly never tried it, i always just backup my documents, configs, and build scripts, and then re-install the new slackware version with the install cd(s)... |
if you have slapt-get then check my first post in this thread. its incredibly easy.. actually requires you to change 1 character in a file.
