      have to update the packages on your system first.

    <p>If you still do not receive a notification (we may not have
      pushed it to all systems) or wish to do a manual upgrade,
      you may step through the following procedure.
    </p>
    <p><b>As root, run the following commands:</b>

    <pre>urpmi.removemedia -a

    <pre>urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist '<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://downloads.openmandriva.org/mirrors/openmandriva.3.0.ARCH.list">http://downloads.openmandriva.org/mirrors/openmandriva.3.0.ARCH.list</a>'

    <p>Substitute <code>ARCH</code> with your architecture, e.g. <code>i586</code>
      or <code>x86_64</code>.
    </p>
    <p>Then run the following commands:
    </p>
    <pre>urpmi --auto --auto-select --replacefiles 2>&1 | tee /root/upgrade.log</pre>
    <p>Reboot when completed. The upgrade log is stored in <code>/root/upgrade.log</code>.
      <br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Which either needs to be edited to something that actually works
      or changed to recommend fresh install. Otherwise we're in for a
      lot of complaints and a world of hurt.<br>

            I haven't seen the tool yet have you? I have had no response

            The trouble is that I am away for this weekend for a
            birthday treat so I can't help.
            <br>
            Can you and Xu_R perhaps get together and write something?
            If I remember rightly you know what is needed.

              and what about the 2014.2-> Lx3.0 migration tool?
              <br>
              someone tested that?

              is not it better to recommend a fresh install?

              mdkonline will advise for a new release?
