When I did my upgrades from RHL 7.2 to 7.3 (first involving a pair of 'important' servers at work, and later my server at home....the difference being that work machines are regularly backed up, and my Linux server at home has never been backed up ;) I used 'yum'. Some of my tale is here: http://lawrence.chen-online.net/index.php?title=yum_upgrade_of_redhat_7_2_to_7_ 3&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 http://lawrence.chen-online.net/index.php?title=home_server_upgrade&more=1&c=1&; tb=1&pb=1 http://lawrence.chen-online.net/index.php?title=home_redhat_7_2_server_upgrade_ to_7_3&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 -- 1. First installed yum and had my RHL 7.2 updating correctly from Fedora Legacy http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs/yum-rh7x.php 2. Download and install the redhat-release package for 7.3 IE: rpm -Uvh ftp://linux21.fnal.gov/linux/legacy/redhat/7.3/os/i386/redhat-release-7.3-1.noa rch.rpm 3. changed exactarch=1 to exactarch=0 in /etc/yum.conf I didn't need to do this for the machines at work, but had assorted conflicts during the upgrade of my home server. 4. Upgrade to RHL 7.3 yum upgrade 5. changed exactarch=0 back to exactarch=1 in /etc/yum.conf. -- Lawrence > -----Original Message----- > From: fedora-legacy-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:fedora-legacy-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Cyril Zlachevsky > Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 05:40 > To: fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: upgrade from RHL 7.2 to 7.3 > > Hello! > I have server runs Red Hat Linux 7.2 > Unfortunately version 7.2 support suspended. > I'm use apt-get for system updates. > My question is - it is safe to upgrade 7.2 to 7.3 by apt-get > like this way? > -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
