| 189467 | 2003-11-05 20:42:00 | I've got Mandrake 9 (not yet installed) - is it possible to upgrade it to 10 with a patch? Thx |

However, if you install M9, you can probably take the M10 CDs and do an upgrade, which will keep the settings you have made. |

| 189470 | 2003-11-06 00:51:00 | Thx Graham. I've since learned from the forum mentioned above that there is no 10 (can't recall how I got the information that there was), and latest build is 9.2. Anyway, the reason I wanted to know about an upgrade, as opposed to a full version, is that it would be reasonable to assume that an upgrade would be a lot smaller download than a full standalone version, specially cos I don't have access to the latest version's disks. So... I've come to the conclusion that I may just as well stick with 9.0 |

| 189471 | 2003-11-06 01:16:00 | 9.1 was regarded as a huge advance on 9.0, so it may be worth getting it anyway - it was the first distro I tried and it was brilliant. | stratters (2587) | ||
| 189472 | 2003-11-06 01:19:00 | Thx - I'll keep a lookout for it then | Greg S (201) | ||
