Mandriva 2007 free update

Paul_md · 01-05-2007, 04:38 PM

Hi,
well, I am newbie to linux at all, so I don't know how to do such a simple thing.
When I was installing Mandriva 2007 Free, I haven't accepted the Mandriva updates. Is there any other way to update my OS after installiation?
Thanx.

go here and follow the instructions .
It will set up all the repositories for free and non free stuff.
Takes a while but makes the audio, browsers and movies work properly, with the non free stuff

There would be, as tytower mentioned, but Mandriva's rpmdrake tools, drakxtools and urpmi command line tools are broken and you need to install the updates for them before rebooting after the install.
I found this problem and informed Mandriva, they still have not fixed the iso images that are on the web so that this isn't a problem.

After setting up the repositories, as root in a terminal window you can execute the following command to auto-install all available patches / updates / bugfixes:

Code:

urpmi --auto-update --auto

HTH,
