Preamble
The aim of this howto is to show how you can upgrade a Frugalware-0.5 system to Frugalware-0.6.
NOTE: As Frugalware-0.6 is not yet released this is a "live" howto, we continously add tricks here if they are necessary.
Removing special packages
If you have madwifi-ng installed, then do a
pacman -R madwifi-ng
before the upgrade.
If you have nvidia installed, then do a
pacman -Rd nvidia
before the upgrade.
Having these packages installed during the upgrade may cause problems.
Upgrading the system
Install the new package manager:
pacman -Sy pacman-g2
Type
pacman-g2 -Su
to upgrade the system.
Installing special packages
After the upgrade you can installed the new madwifi package with
pacman-g2 -S madwifi
and you can put nvidia back with
pacman-g2 -S nvidia
Rebooting
Since the kernel is newer in 0.6 than in 0.5, you have to reboot your machine now.
