Re-Installing PCLinux To A Faster Machine.

(1/2) > >>

tickmike:
I decided to try PCLinux on a faster machine (Pentium 4, 1.8MHz 38 gig HDD, 525 Mb Ram) and I'm half way through the install .
Running the live CD on this machine is a lot better with no issues with missing icons (I think that was not enough Ram ) Also the audio has been detected ok.

Because I'm running out of my ISP download limit this month I do not want to download again the 606Mb of upgrades so can I transfer them from the other machine I installed to the other day.
Q1..Do you know were they are stored, and can I just copy them over and somehow install them ?.

Ps It's just finished the HDD install and it all looks ok.

I'm afraid I don't know where the upgrade downloads are stored in PCLinuxOS. On this Debian system they are in /var/cache/apt/archives, and I guess it will be somewhere similar for PCLOS.

Given that the other machine was well b0rked I think you'd be better leaving this until you can download them again.

Why ? If I can find where the upgrades are stored I could transfer them to the new Machine.  (helps to pass away dark winter nights  ;) )

The other machine was not a good enough spec, maybe I should have tried 'Pclinux Tinyme' on that . (I may do that ).

If I were you then I wouldn't have any confidence that the upgrades were correct given that the base install quite obviously wasn't correct. Your choice  though :)
