I have Mandrake 9.0 I play around with once in a while. CUrrently downloading 10.0. DO I have to eliminate the old 9.0 or will 10.0 install itself over the old 9.0?

Re: Updating Mandrake...
You can simply do an upgrade install. Just boot off the CD, you'll see the option to upgrade soon enough.
However, doing a clean install is always recommended, not matter what OS you use. -
Re: Updating Mandrake...
I tried booting off the CD. THe lilo screen popped up and wouldnt let me boot off the CD, floppy it would, but cd nope. I found out there was some problem with the partition and 9.0 refused to load anyways, so I just reformatted the whole linux partition back to windows. GOnna get a 30 or 40gb HD and a ATA controller card and put linux on that. Then when I do get time to build a new box, it will be linux only. Keep my main PC for XP.Comment

Re: Updating Mandrake...
Yes. It was set to boot off the CD. Still is right now. I'll just wait until I get a new one built to use linux on. My main PC is used to process my digital camera pictures and need the graphics programs.Originally posted by tuxfreakComment
