Upgrading ZM, Help me, I'm dumb with Linux :-)

I'm using the ZM 1.21.3 Mandrake LiveCD and I absolutely love it, but I'm really anxious to upgrade to the latest version. I have it installed on the hard drive using the recommended settings.

Since the install paths are known by everyone for the typical Ross Melin LiveCD installation, can someone tell me the commands I have to type to do the upgrade? I'd like to just be able to copy and paste the commands into the terminal since I can never type all the parameters correctly by hand.

Thanks much if you can help.

It's really easy:
The syntax
rpm -the command for the redhat package manager
U - tells it to update
v -gives you verbose output, don't need it but I like to do it.
h- gives you a progress style bar, again don't need it but I like to do it.

rpm -Uvh zm-1.22.2-7_20060mdk.i586.rpm

Thats all there is to it but you should read Ross's notes:

before doing anything.

Thanks, I wasn't aware there were RPM's for this. Working fine so far with the new version.
