Though I supose I should check what version I already have before downloading a new distro.I put the list of download mirrors in that other thread, but here it is again ;) List of mirrors (www.mepis.org). Make sure you get the iso with the 3.3.1-1 and not 3.3.1, as from the date the updated iso was only released two weeks ago. |

| 366543 | 2005-06-24 01:34:00 | Can I ask how big this Mepis 3.3.3-1 is? Unfortunately only on Dial-up. :(Its just under 700 Mb Mepis comes with GIMP, media players, open office, ftp, webbrowser, audo editing...... and the list goes on and on and on. Still, if you dont want to get it in a couple of overnight downloads, i'm sure it could be got for you...... |

| 366544 | 2005-06-24 02:35:00 | Dick Smith have both Knoppix and Morphix at $1 for the two. That's making way for new releases, so not all branches will have copies still. XC4034 is the number to look for. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 366547 | 2005-06-24 05:47:00 | Got my disks from tricky Dickey thanks Graham. Just a little query though and that is: If one of these operating systems is installed to the HDD, can you update it the same as windows, or do you just completely delete and reinstall the later version? |

| 366548 | 2005-06-24 06:00:00 | If one of these operating systems is installed to the HDD, can you update it the same as windows, or do you just completely delete and reinstall the later version?You update the software packages and system files as they get released (if you wish to). Depending upon the distro and how they handle updating it can be similiar to windows update except you are offered updates on everything installed - Office programs, Graphic programs, Music etc the lot. If you wish to move to a newer version of your distro, then again depending upon your choice of distro and if they offer this, you just boot with the new install disk and select upgrade as your installation type. |
