Hi, is it true when i say, FC3 == RHEL4 ?

RHL-9 =~ RHEL-3
FCL-3 =~ RHEL-4
If you are looking at one could attempt an upgrade from to then it would be that
RHL-7.0, RHL-7.1, RHL-7.2 might be upgraded to RHEL-2.1
RHL-7.3, RHL-8, RHL-9 might be upgraded to RHEL-3
FCL-1, FCL-2, FCL-3 might be upgraded to RHEL-4
FCL-4, FCL-5, FCL-6 might be upgraded to RHEL-5

1) Backup current data to media that can be recovered from after an

rpm -qa --qf='%{NAME} %{EPOCH}:%{VERSION}:%{RELEASE}\n' > filename
3) Do an upgrade
One needs to force the RHEL/Centos installer to do an upgrade of outside its
4) Look for files that were left over and why
5) Fix broken configs because versions have changed greatly.
[my guess is that FCL-9 might be RHEL-6 :)]

FC3 - 8 November 2004
RHEL4 - February 2005
FC4 - 13 June 2005
