because it is needed by other products.
1a. Do not replace eoe.sw.base (1289579220)

Resolve conflicts by typing "conflicts choice choice ..."
or try "help conflicts"


went about installing in the usual manner:

Code: Select all

Inst> keep *

Inst> install upgrade

Inst> install prereqs


I've tried openeing all the base cds, but as you can see from the above, it's not giving me the choice to resolve the conflicts without removing any of the above packages. Doing so results in a whole slew of other conflicts, not the least of which is removing half of my freeware and commercial apps. I tried checking off everything that was conflicting, but it still won't resolve. :(

Any suggstions?

Here's my experience with .25 I would use swmgr or inst via prompt. In two tries Irix has failed to update even though it installed fine both ways(live install since my cdroms wont work for some reason) After the install boot to single user mode. Snoop around check space blah blah. Then say reboot at prompt. It should build an new kernal and be fine. You mileage may vary but it has worked both times for me.

hello,

open swmgr and choose:
- unmark all.
- select recommended upgrades.
