Question


hi... i have successfully installed Mandrake 7.0... i am looking to upgrade to 7.1 ... but i don't know how to do it...

actually the reason why i wanna do this is to ultimately upgrade to 7.2 (i understand that can't do this directly from 7.0)... but also, i would like to know how to install newer versions of the kernel and other stuff i know not about without having to buy the CD and do a new installation...

and i would really appreciate it very much if someone could also teach me about linux security... appreciate very much indeed!

I am still a student and new to the field of computers and not some high flying sys admin or programmer with years of experience... so would truly appreciate the help, though i can't pay for any of the help i get...

thanks in advance...

i have done the upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2 but things
stopped working in kde. I started the installation and chose
the upgrade instead of install, this is a longer process than the install. I eventually ended up just doing the install of 7.2 to get everything working right.

Cool

hey thanks man...
yeah i found the same pattern of behaviour for these linux installs...
anyway, i think my 7.2 CDs are kinda faulty... bought them from http://www.cheapbytes.com. It boots up and then gets stuck at detecting my second hard drive... dunno what's wrong... the Redhat one seems to install fine though...

it's a wierd world man...
