In the thread I mentioned, Jeremy Katz suggested that rolling updates may be less problematic. Where you start with FC1 then incrementally go forward tracking rawhide through time. I did this on my laptop and it more or less worked fine. At FC2T3 I installed from CD just to clean out any junk and make sure the installer worked. (The installer didn't work with the two previous tests on my laptop...) But a normal "yum update" from the standard FC1 to FC2 may break badly on some systems. > > Some discussion on the topic: > > http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-April/msg01102.html > > The e-mail seems to insinuate its technically impossible? I can attest > to quite the contrary... It's technically impossible in some important upgrade scenarios. Not to say it will never work. They're just saying it will never work in every conceivable situation. If you want to ensure your system actually functions after upgrade then reboot to an installation CD and perform the upgrade. -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
