yellowdog 2.3

[Pat Plummer]

Dan:

You already have 2.2 installed, right? It sounded to me like you were 
trying to do a full install and hopefully you didn't hose your 2.2 
install trying to do the upgrade.

Why do a fresh install when you can use apt-get to do the upgrade 
painlessly? It worked well here on ix (my ANS700) and believe me a fresh 
install on an ANS is no cakewalk. It should work for your ibook as well.

In fact, you should be able to use the CD as source for apt as opposed 
to ftp. "man apt-get" or "apt-get -h" will give you some info on method. 
Also have a look at:

apt should do the trick, but probably won't update your kernel and 
kernel source files automagically . At least, it seems that I had to do 
an apt-get install to install those things as I remember. You may not 
need the kernel source if you don't roll your own kernels.

HTH,

Pat
