The Yellow Brick Road To Hoary

Hoary Test Install 11/05/2004

I installed Warty and with little modifications to the system changed my sources.list to update to Hoary. For the most part, good as gold.

Installed the nvidia drivers, ok ...

Installed MPlayer, ok ...

Tried to configure Evolution and the Evolution setup locked at the point where it asked for time zone.

Not bad for this stage of the game ...

I was able to do an apt-get dist-upgrade to hoary with no issues yet.

I upgraded with no issues, as well, but for the fact that my CD drive is now not recognized, though I'm sorting that out as I write this. All in all, much more favorable than I was expecting at this stage in the game. Kudos to the Ubuntu team!

I also updated with no problems.

I have this problem: I'm on 33.6k modem (puls dialing, old analog swithcboard). :-k

My friend at work has very fast link, but she uses Windows.
So my quiestion is how can she help me upgrade to Hoary?
Is there any way to download whole Hoary repository, burn it to CD and later I can use Synptic to upgrade from that cd?
If this is possibile, how?

You -may- be able to download the hoary package archives from the site, unzip them using WinRAR, and burn them to CD. I don't know for sure, I am just guessing there.

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/

You would navigate to hoary and its security partner, and go to main/binary-i386 and download Packages.bz2 . If you want universe, etc. you would have to navigate to those packages as well.

Anyone who knows more about this want to comment on whether it will work or not?

How do I upgrade to Hoary? I tried apt-get dist-upgrade, but it told me that I had the most current release. I really want to use haory because it fixes so many bugs with modules not being loaded and broken ACPI stuff.

At this stage of the game I don't believe Hoary will resolve the issues you are referring to.

If my memory serves me correctly ... To upgrade change your sources.list file and replace the word warty with the word hoary in the link references except the reference to your cdrom.

Then ....

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Good luck ...

Add those, then just do as the previous poster stated with apt-get.
