I am presently in the late process of rebuilding my system. I reinstalled
Mandrake 7.2 and am now upgrading beyond 7.2, but not quite to 8.0. I am
trying to do this cleanly and systematically.
I am about to switch to glibc2.2, rebuild my kernel, rebuild XFree86, and
then, I would like to upgrade from rpm-3.x to 4.x. Last time I attempted
that particular change, it totally dicked up my system with all my previously
installed rpms being lost to the new rpm.
I would like to avoid this on this go around. How does one upgrade to
rpm-4.x without losing the list/database of installed rpms from 3.x?
