                <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, <strong>do back up your data before upgrading</strong>.</p>
                <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>
                        <ul>
                            <li><a href="#mgaonline">using mgaonline</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#urpmi">using urpmi</a></li>
                        </ul>
                    </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
                    &ndash; 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="mgaonline-2.77.29-1.mga1.noarch.rpm" 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 signature.
                    Yes, that sucks, we know.
                    But that's what we got so far.</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 &lt;media_url&gt;</code></p>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                    </li>
                </ul>
