graphics\howbutt.gifUpdating applications

You can update the current applications and the kernel on the system. Corel Update informs you about application updates so that you can choose the applications you want to update. Because the Corel LINUX applications and operating system are Open Source, they are often updated when features are added, bugs are fixed, or more reliable code is implemented.

Corel Update acquires the application updates from HTTP or FTP sites, so you must ensure that you have a network or Internet connection before you can receive application updates. You can also install application updates using a CD-ROM.

You are prompted for a root password before the application starts up. For information about using the root account, see "Using the root account."
