Can I upgrade my Centos 4.1 system with the 4.2 ISO install disc? If so, how do I do it? It seams to want to do a full (i.e. format, wipe out old) install over everything. I do not want to lose my various configurations (e.g. kppp, kde desktop settings, etc) that I have already set up under 4.1. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The dvd has yum repository data built into it, so you can mount the dvd and point yum at the repo wherever you mounted the dvd, If you have CDs, then you can create a repository from it. You may want to look at a program like yam from dag to do something like this for you. This will only bring you up to 4.2 release time... it won't get you current, and 4.3 should be out in the near future, so you'll still be behind..... -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety'' Benjamin Franklin 1775
