hi, i want to upgrade a redhat 8.0 to fedora core 3, using yum. as i understand the process, i need to get the yum for the fedora core 3. (is this correct?) i should: su - root rpm --import http://fedora.redhat.com/about/security/4F2A6FD2.txt http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/Fedora/RPM S/yum-2.1.11-3.noarch.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/Fedora/RPM S/fedora-release-3-8.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh --force fedora-release*.rpm rpm -Uvh --force yum-2.1.11*.rpm yum upgrade yum python rpm-python rpm glibc glibc-common \ redhat-config-\* XFree86\* libxml2\* //yum upgrade rpm python yum update the /etc/yum.conf file with the following: [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=fedora-release tolerant=1 exactarch=0 # Added this because some mirrors go down and then retying takes forever. retries=1 timeout=10 # Basic Repos are in /etc/yum.conf.d/ # ################### ## Fedora Extras ## ################### [extras] name=Fedora Extras - $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/lin ux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ # http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basea rch/ gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY -Fedora-Extras ############### ## Livna.org ## ############### [livna-stable] name=Livna.org - Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable http://livna.cat.pdx.edu/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable #gpgcheck=1 if i understand everything, i should be at a point where i can do: yum upgrade which should then begin the process of upgrading everything from redhat 8 to fedora core 3. have i missed anything???? thanks -bruce -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
