Live upgrades have worked fine for me ever since about RHL5. Sometimes there's a glitch which you need to deal with manually (like having to reformat swap space for 64KiB pages), but stuff like that happens even with "installer" upgrades too. The most painful thing about it is fixing Apache after the upgrade -- or maybe it's rebooting the remote machines onto a much newer kernel. But neither of those are special to the "live" upgrade path. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
