With the end of Legacy support for RH9, I'd like to migrate my Fedora Legacified RH9 box to Centos 3. http://www.owlriver.com/tips/centos-31-ex-rhl-9/ Any thoughts on whether this should also work with the .legacy packages?
As author of the migration instructions in question, let me give an unqualified "Yes, probably" .... ;)
I would feel safer 'stretching' into CentOS-4, just to get the later kernel, and buying the longer lifespan, but a move with a set of CentOS 3.8 spins ISO images will work, if you are a dead plain install wholly mediated by RPM, with minimal or no transition issues. But please:
1. level 0 backup 2. strip out unused packages -- a good idea anyway 3. possibly reboot and force a full fsck on all partitions 4. remove /home if at a separate mountpoint, from the fstab -- no reason to risk the data good luck -- please let us know how it turns out. - Russ Herrold -- fedora-legacy-list mailing list fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
