hi...
given the issue of using yum for an install, i'm trying to figure out how to
effectively update an FC4 to FC5 without using a CD (either ISO or
rescueCD). i've seen articles stating that you can do a FTP/NFS install, but
that you need a 'boot' disk...
is there a way to do the update/install without using any kind of CD...
Yes, just edit $releasever to 5 in /etc/yum.repos.d/
fedora-core.repo
fedora-extras.repo
fedora-updates.repo
and do a
yum update
and see what happens. I have done this on a couple of remote boxes now
with good results, but note they were headless so there were no X11 and
above (ie, KDE, Gnome) packages involved.
