Topic: 6.0b3 to 6.0 - how best to upgrade?

[John Lewis]

What is the best way to take an existing 6.0b3 box, and bring it up to the official 6.0?

Thanks.

[Lapin]

As much as I use and appreciate e-smith, I for myself will not go to version 6.0

I am staying with version 5.6 until I find a real alternative. Why would I go to all the trouble of upgrading to 6.0 which will be unsupported in 15 days?

Actually I will more than likelly buy RHEL 2.1 and use that OS.

Cheers.

According to the sme manager, and the server console. SME6b3 with all the updates applied is SME 6.0.

Can anyone confirm this?

I believe it is I have two box's, one that's had all the updates.  On this one it indicates its SME 6.0.  The other box has had no updates, it indicates it's SME 6.0Beta 3.

Now The issue I've ran into is I can not find the updates to the beta version on any of the mirror's.  This box I need to upgrade is in a remote location.  Does anyone have these updates? or know where I can find them?


Hope someone can help,

Mitch

Since I don't use RSYNC to update my local mirror, there's still a copy on my server. Sorry, no SRPMs Disk space is at a premium over here. You're welcome to mirror it:
