uniacid Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 is there anyway to install it without downloading and burning the 3 main cd's ? I saw this but don't quite understand it There's no major changes, so a simple package refresh should be enough. Simply run rpm -Fvh against a mirror of your choice, for example: "rpm -Fvh ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirr ors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/beta/ph... and also saw this Get the redhat-release rpm and install it. Then run "up2date-nox --nosig -u -v" and you will be upgraded to the new phoebe beta. can anyone clear this up? thx. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatter Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 If you already have RedHat 8.0 installed then you can upgrade to 8.1 using those steps. Otherwise, start downloading ISOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked but dont find anythingI tried the first command in console, it ran but nothing happened, just was stuck on > , wondering how long it would take to dl the updates since I didn't really see any activity in my modem.

mezz Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 1) # rpm -Fvh ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/bet...edHat/RPMS/*rpm You can change the ftp to your closer mirror for the faster download. BTW: last is "*rpm" w/out quote.. ------------------=or=------------------ 1) Download redhat-release-8.0.93-2.noarch.rpm and install it. You can download this file from. -> ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/bet...86/RedHat/RPMS/ 2) # up2date-nox --nosig -u -v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniacid Posted January 21, 2003 Author Share Posted January 21, 2003 alright Ive been dling the updates for the beta for the last hour and a half, still got a bit togo, I was wondering I just use this and it'll be installed? never done it like this before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezz Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Right now, I am in my brother's laptop that has RedHat 8. I am using the second option and it's working.. Awful a lot of traffic right now, but I am able to downloading them fast thought. If you want to make sure if your RedHat is downloading stuff, you can check by netstat -t..

mezz Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 The differences are that it's using very lastest version of Gnome (with extra features), KDE, XFree86, kernel and etc. Yes, it's stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
