Paul, For my information, using this same technique, can I add packages from the BDI 4.50 cdrom to a Ubuntu Dapper Drake system? Since I have switched to Ubuntu, for whatever reason, good or bad, this would be the easiest way for me to benefit from all the stuff you have put together. djs Paul wrote: Hi Geert On Friday 11 August 2006 19:58, Geert De Pecker wrote: You say we could use the cd to update an existing install. I am a longtime linux guy, but not with debian. Any hints on how we can start the upgrade? To quote from Craig's posting: 1. Burn the .iso image with BDI 4.50. 2. Launch Synaptic. 3. Synaptic prompts for a root password.. 4. Use the "Edit" pull down menu and "Add CD-ROM". 5. Click on the 'Status' box in the lower left corner, and select "Installed (upgradable) from the menu. By right clicking on any package in the main window, you can select to upgrade (or remove).. Alternatively, 'Mark All Upgrades' icon on the tool bar and then the 'Apply' icon. Regards, Paul. For the command line junkies: sudo apt-cdrom add sudo apt-get upgrade _______________________________________________ Bdi4emc-help mailing list [1][email protected] [2]https://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bdi4emc-help References 1. mailto:[email protected] 2. https://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bdi4emc-help
