Hi. Is it possible to upgrade to Fedora 7 from the Live CD?
I'm trying to upgrade a CD-only Fedora 5 machine to Fedora 7.
Clicking on the "Install to Hard Drive" icon starts the Fedora
Installer, which only offers to do a fresh install, but not an
upgrade.
If the Live CD does not support upgrading, then how can I
reliably upgrade a Fedora 5 system on a CD-only machine?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora7/FAQ answers both the questions. I
am unaware of any Live CD's which can support upgrades.
In general, upgrades are less reliable than fresh installations.
You have a number of options. Ycan do a network installation which
requires a small boot or rescue image both of which can be burned to a
CD. You can also copy the DVD image to a hard disk and use that. There
is also the option of doing upgrades via package managers like yum or
apt-get or smart.
