[coLinux-users] [ANN] Mandrake 10.0 image for coLinux - final

[Olivier S. <co...@a-...>]

Hello people,

after two release candidates, here is the final release of my filesystem
image for Mandrake 10.0 Official, built from scratch with Mandrake RPMs.

at 37 Mb compressed, it includes full rpm and urpmi support, loadkey
support, vi, nano, sshd and man pages among other things. no X for this one.

more information is available there :

http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/MandrakeForColinux


just by using URPMI you can easily install X clients like rpmdrake and use
VNC for best performances (pango makes many things slow).


Regards, Olivier Souiry

Seriously though, nice work man!

are debian and gentoo really the only distros that support upgrading without
reinstalling?

foo ! actually, Mandrake 10.1 Official will be out in about 15 days.
currently, the only 10.1 you can find is the Community edition, and
Mandrakesoft will use feedback from this release to polish their real
offering, the "Official" edition. for that reason, I currently only consider
their "Official" release.


and even after 10.1 official is out, I'll wait for a few weeks to hear about
any snaffu or immediate post-release correction.


Currently, I have set up URPMI to use the rpms in Mandrake 10.0 Official.

Impatient users can upgrade by changing urpmi "hdlist" sources to either :

Mandrake 10.0 updates,
Mandrake 10.1 release,
Mandrake 10.1 updates once they start to appear,
and of course, Cooker


since I don't have any indication on when Cooker or the update sources are
working or are broken, I leave that as an exercise to the reader : it is
just a matter of editing 3 lines. you can even use this URL to help you to
figure that out :

http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

upgrading Mandrake from 10.0 to 10.1 is just a matter of adjusting URPMI
media sources and using urpmi.update then urpmi --autoselect.

sticking to Mandrake 10.0 official is like sticking to Debian Woody - at
least you know it works when you ship it.


oh, and it is just a matter of a few minutes to rebuild a new image. I don't
expect much dependancies to change in Mandrake 10.1


I took a look at SuSE, too. I think I can use the same technique and rebuild
a viable "SuSE from scratch" by using rpm --root option.
