Subject: RE: Upgrading an existing install, or creating a new install
Alex,
Thanks for creating those instructions.
So, I've already downloaded the ISO image, how does one upgrade with the CD,
instead of the site?
I tried looking at "settle", but on the CD it is in binary format.
I also get the following error when following your instructions. Any idea on
the solution:
owl2!build:~$ rpm -ivh ~build/RPMS/kernel-2*
error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

It depends. An upgrade is usually the way to go, whereas a new install
may be preferred in some special circumstances.

I've just created a wiki page with Owl upgrade instructions:

Thank you for asking!
