Mandriva 2006 upgrade gets stuck
I am trying to upgrade from Mandrake 10.2 to Mandriva 2006 using the free download DVD. However, every time that I try, it gets stuck at "finding packages to upgrade". There is no DVD, HDD or network activity, but the mouse pointer and numlock are responsive. I have tried this more than once. Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be?

Have you tried using a different mirror?

That advice doesn't make any sense: I'm using the DVD.

LOL....
Sorry man. I overlooked your post! :blush: What are your Update sources? Take a look at your Update Sources in Mandrake Control Center (MCC) and you might find something. |
I had a problem with a similar upgrade
I found it worked quicker and properly if I did a fresh install and did not format my user partition |

If you make sure you dont format the user partition all your personal configuration settings will be saved as is. Also look at http://www.mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php? and follow the instructions to add all the other rpms to your available packages lists..takes some time but its worth it |
