<p>Upgrading from Mandriva Linux 2010.1 and 2010.2 is supported, and has been fine tuned over the past
months, so it should work. But as always and before:</p>
<ul>
<li>back up your data before upgrading;</li>
<li>if you are upgrading a laptop, connect to power!
You might be updating over 2000 packages, and this can take some time;</li>
<li>do not start up any net-intensive applications during the upgrade
– you need to reserve bandwidth for the upgrade.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are several ways to upgrade from one of those previous Mandriva releases:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#dvd">using the Mageia 1 DVD</a></li>
<li><a href="#inline">using the online media sources directly</a>,
using <a href="#mgaonline">mgaonline</a> or <a href="#urpmi">urpmi</a>.</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2 id="dvd">Upgrade using the Mageia 1 DVD</h2>
<p>You can use the <a href="/downloads/">Mageia 1 DVD</a> to do a clean install
but also to upgrade from previous releases.</p>
<p>To upgrade:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/downloads/">Download the ISO</a> and burn it on a DVD;</li>
<li>Boot the DVD and select "Install Mageia 1" from the bootloader menu;</li>
<li>Select the "Upgrade" option in the installer.</li>
</ul>
<p>It is recommended to set up the online repositories, if possible
– the installer will ask you about this during the upgrade.
The reason is that the DVD only includes a subset
of these full fledged online Mageia repositories.</p>
<hr>
<h2 id="inline">Upgrading inline</h2>
<p>You can upgrade using the online media sources directly, from within your Mandriva installation.</p>
<p>This can be done either using the graphical <code>mgaonline</code> tool
or the command-line <code>urpmi</code>.
Both methods are outlined below. But first, download and install
this <code>mgaonline</code> package that will help you through the process:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/en/downloads/dl.php?product=mgaonline" rel="nofollow" title="Download mgaonline"><img src="/g/images/oxygen/application-x-rpm.png" alt="mgaonline"><br>
mgaonline<br>
for Mandriva Linux<br> 2010.1 or 2010.2</a></p>
<br>
<p>Note that you may get a security warning, due to invalid package signatures.
This is because a Mandriva system does not recognise Mageia signatures;
you can safely ignore these warnings.
Yes, that sucks, we know.</p>
<p>So, it installed the package? Good, let's move on and pick a) or b) below:</p>
<br>
<h2 id="mgaonline">a) Upgrading inline, using mgaonline (GUI)</h2>
<p>Just close your graphical session and log in again.
A pop-up window will notify you of the availability of the new Mageia 1 distribution:</p>
<img src="/g/1/mgaonline/mgaonline8.png" alt="mgaonline pop-up" class="screen-copy">
<p>Just follow the wizard instructions; it will configure Mageia media sources and start the migration.</p>
<img src="/g/1/mgaonline/mgaonline2.png" alt="mgaonline pop-up" class="screen-copy">
<p>As soon as the migration is complete, you should restart your system; and here you are.</p>
<br>
<h2 id="urpmi">b) Upgrading inline, using urpmi (CLI)</h2>
<p>You can also upgrade using <code>urpmi</code> from your favourite terminal emulator,
if you are confortable with it. Here are the steps:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Remove all the existing media sources on your system:</p>
<p><code class="term">$ su<br />
# urpmi.removemedia -a</code></p></li>
<li><p>Add the Mageia online sources:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>either directly (this will select a best matching mirror, after your location):</p>
<p><code class="term">$ su<br />
# urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist</code></p>
</li>
<li><p>either using a specific media mirror (you can decide from <a href="http://mirrors.mageia.org/distrib">our mirrors list</a>):</p>
<p><code class="term">$ su<br />
# urpmi.addmedia --distrib <media_url></code></p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
