I am running SuSE 6.4.
It has been a few months since I've run the update function of YAST going through the FTP site for the source, so I tried it out last night.
It said that it needed to acquire the system, so I couldn't use this while it was up. It wanted me to boot from CD2 (not an option as this is an old 486SX-33), or from a bootdisk.
I've tried the bootdisk menu options update, but it couldn't use FTP since I don't have 64 megs of RAM (I have 48). When I boot the installed system, I end up with the same problem that I started with.
Does someone have a suggestion on how I can go about with this update?
Don't boot from any CD just to update your 6.4 packages. Start yast1 Choose/Install packages(CR) Install packages(CR) (CR) FTP(CR) (CR) You should be there. It will look very similar to when you installed from CD. PS Don't update the popt package or kpackage will no longer work. -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net
