up2date from rawhide

[Jim Cornette]

The way that I did it was to add the following entry to my 
/etc/sysconfig/sources file.

If you place this file in your directory. You will be able to retrieve 
files from the servers.

Note: you will have to have installed apt-get and yum for this to work.

The problem that I had was that the file sizes did not show for the duke 
university rpms. It sucessfully retrieved all of the files and installed 
all of the programs.

I did have a conflict with two programs that were mentioned earlier. But 
they now install properly and the latest rawhide build is pretty darn 
impressive. It was a breeze to upgrade the programs like XFree86 and the 
other associated programs. The new XFRee86 programs seem to be a lot 
quicker also.

I had a problem with updating the kernel. I am not sure if the kernel is 
installed or upgraded. But with the error message, it must try to 
Upgrade al packages from the repositories. If I Installed the kernel 
through rpm. It would install and leave the latest 2.4.x kernel. THe 
test3 kernel did not recognize my mice (USB from belkin and the synaptic 
builtin touchpad with scrollbar.) Both mice work with the 2.4.x kernel, 
so I'm sticking with it.

Good luck! I hope it works for you. But like always. If the advice is 
free. The results could be catastrophic.


Later,

Jim
