Is it possible to upgrade Mandrake 10.1 to something newer?

wesslan · 05-15-2006, 08:53 AM

I have an installation of Mandrake 10.1 on my (home) server that is running just fine. Though I see that most sites that I use for "urpmi update" recently have removed 10.1 so it isn't that easy to find updates.

Question: Is it possible to upgrade to a newer version and which version would that be?
I do not want to do a fresh install.

Regards

You could upgrade to the latest version which is 2006.

I think yes but to be sure copy your home directory to CD or DVD and install Mandriva 2006 without formatting your root drive.
I'v done this without problems.But if something goes wrong just paste your documents from CD and change owner to new one and nothing will be lost.
