if you want to upgrade a live cd install the best way is by rpm

If the link is down to ross's rpms (he is the guy that builds them) then its best you wait for ross, he is here most days

OK here is a new link

http://sentrix.homeip.net/rpms/

Always use the latest zm rpm you find for your distro version.

I think I have my firewall configured correctly so let me know if you are able to get the rpms you need. If so I will update the link in the wiki.

Hello Ross, thank you for your answer.
But i still do not understand.
Please can you read attentively my first message, and tell me if what i have done is RIGHT or NOT !
I don't understand why you drive me to the link you gave me.
"Release 1.22.3 23rd November 2006" is not an upgrade for the complete version from you " ZoneMinder LiveCD v1.22.2 DOWNLOAD ALT1 TORRENT " that i have downloaded and install, and which work correctly on my PC " ?

To answer to YOUR question, YES i was able to get RPM from URL you gave me ?
Thank you and best regards.

Here is the howto for the mandriva package manager. It describes howto update packages in Mandrake/Mandriva.
Sorry I haven't used the distro in a while and haven't kept current on their new package manager but this should get you going.

"Release 1.22.3 23rd November 2006" is not an upgrade for the complete version from you " ZoneMinder LiveCD v1.22.2 DOWNLOAD ALT1 TORRENT " that i have downloaded and install, and which work correctly on my PC " ?

The way to upgrade your installation is to download the latest zm rpm from http://sentrix.homeip.net/rpms/mdk_2006/

Then in a konsole window enter the command "sudo rpm -Uvh zm-1.22.3-5.1.20060mdk.i686.rpm"

Then enter the command "sudo service zm restart" and you will be all up to date

Thank you all for your answers.
Have a nice day.

Hi Ross
I have downloaded from http://sentrix.homeip.net/rpms/mdk_2006/
OK, my file is into" desktop" path is : /home/guest/desktop
When i open Konsole i have
[guest ~$]
i type "sudo rpm -Uvh zm-1.22.3-5.1.20060mdk.i686.rpm"
answer is : error open ZM......... no such file or directory.
I understand i am not at the right directory. So i go to
[/home/guest]# in red color.
same result = error open........
i go to root = same, etc.. etc..
Where shall i go ?
Thank for your help-
Pierrot

you need to navigate to where the rpm is saved. Before you do the rpm -Uvh

do

dir

and check the rpm is listed. Id expect you to have to chnage to your Desktop directory and note when changing directory in linux its case sesitive

Hello James
Sorry, but did you read what i wrote ?
You ask me to do exactly what i did ...
i told my file is into :/home/guest/desktop
i can assure it is there, because i have seen it with Konqueror.
When i open Konsole i have
[guest ~]$
if i type : dir
i got : Video Desktop Music rpm Pictures bin tmp and others
Those file are exactly the one i have seen with Konqueror.
if i type :
[guest ~]$ cd tmp
i got
[guest tmp]$
if i type :
[guest tmp]$ cd
i got
[guest ~]$ cd bin
i got
[guest bin]$
if i type:
[guest bin]$ cd
i got
[guest ~]$
if i type :
[guest ~]$ cd desktop
i got
bash: cd: desktop: No such file or directory

so i am able to change to some directory, but not to Desktop.
And that is the place where is my RPM .
I must do errors, but i don't see which one.
Best regards
Pierrot

With linux "desktop" is not he same as "Desktop".
This is different than windows. All filenames, paths, passwords, and almost anthing else you may think of are case sensitive. If you see uppercase in the "ls" or "dir" output then you must use that.
If you like you can do it this way:
"sudo rpm -Uvh Desktop/zm-1.22.3-5.1.20060mdk.i686.rpm"

Hello Ross
Thank you very much.
It does work.
Upgrade has been successful.
