Linux mandrake 10 update.

[Markopoulos]

Hello again. I have a computer with two OS at different partitions.
WinXP and Linux mandrake 10.
I want to update Linux online. I don't know many things about linux but i like to test it.
Can u give me an advice how to do that?

PS: I have 3 cds with the version of linux i already have installed.

to update Mandrake you use urpmi

to setup urpmi with the correct source for your version goto:

http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

or google: easy urpmi

follow the instructions to setup the 3 sources
main
update
contrib

then you simply:

# urpmi package

and it starts the download and install for you.

I got the above instructions from here

Ok. and how can i see if a have the "Mandrake 10 community or official" version?
..and what is this architecture to check?

The bootup message should tell you if you have the Community of Official version. (not positive, though)

The architecture is the type of processor you're using. x86 (i386, i486, i585, i686) = most intel/amd 32-bit processors, x64 = 64-bit processors, sparc = sun sparc processors, ppc = power pc processor (the pre-instel macs) and so on.
