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.
