Hi, There is a program called up-to-date or uptodate i am not sure. I think you need to be registered at redhat to use it. There is also a program rpmfind which possibly could identify all packages that need upgrading and then download them. I would rather try and get hold (by downloading?) the iso images of the two cds you will need for the upgrade and get them written onto cds. If you have a network at your disposal, you can put these iso images on another box and upgrade over the network. hth Willem On Thu, 6 Dec 2001, Brent Harding wrote: > It'd be cool to use ext3, is there a way to upgrade by modem? > At 08:48 AM 12/6/01 +0500, you wrote: > >Hello, > >The config files should be automatically saved in *.rpmsave files by the > >upgrading process. > >The main difference between rh-7.1 and 7.2 is the introduction of the ext3 > >jurnalling file system. > >One should considder if it would be werth upgrading > >if there are a lot of custom configuration that has been done on 7.1. > >Ext3 has more overhead than ext2, but it has the ability to do something > >like point-in-time recovery. > > > >I have done the upgrade on my box to try and get my onboard sound to work > >with viavoice.
