So I need to install from the 3.3 media And then update to the versions on the 3.4 media And then install the 3.4 updates?
No - just install 3.3 media and then update to 3.4.
If I had 3.4 media I could just install off that. I am looking at a local mirror setup which does not require me to download new CDs every 3 months.
as long as your 3.3 is a symlink to 3.4 the update will happen directly to 3.4 - it will pull stuff from /os as well as /updates but everything is there :)
I still can't figure it out :( Every time I look things have changed.
I also have another question which I will ask here.... it is about the x86_64 updates http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.4/updates/x86_64/RPMS/
There are i386 updates in there. Are these required?
That is better answered by one of the x86_64 maintainers.
They are the same as the i386 versions. If so, I end up downloading them multiple times which is a pain :(
They should be hardlinks to the i386 rpms - which rsync will respect as long as you use -H and only download once.
