Yes, but that is not wise, either, except for a few known packages, like locally compiled packages. Certainly not as a general rule. For one reason, I wouldn't get the updated versions of the packages not in the DVD, getting an inconsistent system: parts updated, part not. For another, some packages in distro upgrades get replaced by another different package, or disappear, or worse, the package gets a name change, in which case I would get both new and obsolete versions of equivalent packages. No, the proper thing is to update all existing package with their intended replacement, getting them from the local install media (DVD, CD, etc) and the add on source (ftp tree) if missing on local or main source. That add on source is what is new, and the feature I wanted; it just needs to be tested, if I understood Andreas correctly. I just need clarification that my understanding is correct, that it should work, and then I'll try to find out time to test that scenario (ie, upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 Beta with some packages to be updated from add on source because they are not in the CDs). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
