Hi I saw an article at LWN on a "Package Management Experiment" http://lwn.net/Articles/50687/ says Mandrake's urpmi upgrade from e.g. version 9.1 to 9.2 is now almost as good as Debian's apt-get dist-upgrade urpmi.update -a urpmi --auto-select --no-verify-rpm --auto urpmi kernel Has anyone tried this. Guy? regards, john
