1. Remove your old package sources urpmi.removemedia
2. Add a new one visit easyurpmi
3. urpmi --auto-select
4. You still need to install a new kernel so issue "urpmq -y kernel" (without quotes) to see what kernels are available. Choose one.
5. Install your new kernel urpmi kernel-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

have you done it like this? how did it go?

lets wait.....I'm downloading the whole "tree" but since I'm lacy chances are that If I do not hear from that guy soon, I'll wait until the cd's come out...

I tried upgrading mandrake 10.1 to mandriva using uprmi to get the mandriva LE 2005 repositories and it did not work!!!.

I tested this approach several times using a vmware linux box.....no can do!!!. Stay away form this approach....

Just download the 12mb boot image and ftp the rest, it sure worked well for me, at least so far

So far, I have upgraded my python and xorg using the 2005LE repositories. Haven't done any thing further, yet, though....

xavierh · 04-21-2005, 08:43 PM

Well I managed to upgrade both my vmware machine in the office using the boot disc and my computer at home using an iso image that I got "somewhere"......The new Os lloks and feels nice. I would recommend though to go for the boot disc option since it seems htat that 4.4 gigs iso image is missing some packages... other than that is very good and stable....

Limited Edition is waaayyy faster than 10.1.
I d/lded the 6 CDs and installed (had a prblem with Mozilla Firefox : it would ny
load at install, so I just skipped the internet programes on re-install and added it next.
It is also much faster now to resolve IPs !!
Everything works except I will have to set the French locale in KDE, but that's not much.

Cool version so far !!

Agree 100%.

I had a little bit of an issue with lm_sensors, but I managed to solve it. apcupsd worked right of the bat and samba too.

all my settings were recognized and no issues so far. It feel quicker. It is interesting that I have not seen a lot of threads related to this upgrade. Either people are nto having issues or they still do not have it.
