If you cannot boot a CD or DVD and if you cannot boot from USB port (i.e. like a USB thumb drive or USB hard disk drive), your options are very few. Using yum to upgrade from Fedora 5 to Fedora 9 or Fedora 10 might have been possible while you had interim releases available in repositories (i.e. Fedora 6, 7, 8) but I think they have all been removed. Thus one would have to make it in a very big leap which would require luck, much knowledge and my expectations of me being able to pull that off would be minimal. Just in case you feel you want to try to pull it off (and I seriously don't know how you are going to do that), you will definitely want to read this information really carefully... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq There is a major gotcha at Fedora 7 where the ata subsystem is replaced by scsi so your drives change from /dev/hda to /dev/sda, etc. which affects booting (grub) and fstab and it's clearly a fail point. You would also have to find some mirror somewhere that didn't purge the old versions of Fedora 6/7/8 so you could interim step each upgrade. Now I'm somewhat unclear what you're asking about getting the system and services back in place...do you mean trying to make Fedora 5 work again? I wouldn't know what's broken other than some tinkering with /etc/yum.repos.d files which could probably be fixed but the problem remains that even if you had them back to their original settings, they would still fail because the Fedora repositories for Fedora 8 and before have been removed.
