I can image that. :) But still, those "errors" can be safely ignored, if yum finally succeeds. If in the end you get a message something like "no more mirror servers available" then no server could be reached and then we can look what the problem really is. > I plan > to upgrade to F12 but the problem now is the update.I guess a new > installation would resolve the problem but my fear is my windows > partition,is there a way the grub loader could be maintained while I > install F12 on the old F10? The windows partition is not really a problem. GRUB takes care of Windows partitions an can present them in its menu - you can still boot into Windows. But having two Linux installation is a little bit more tricky. Grub can handle any number of installations (Windows, Linux, etc.) but on each kernel update yum updates the grub configuration and puts a reference to the new kernel there. But you want to keep F10 and F12 together. So both system need to access the /boot partition. If you did not designate a separate partition for /boot then you must decide which system will be the "leading" system. For the sake of this example let's say you install F12 in a new partition. F10 is still present on your disk. You have edit /boot/grub/grub.conf manually and enter references to the kernel(s) and root partition of F10. Then you can boot both systems. But I do not know what yum will do to your entries on the next kernel update. I suppose it will leave them alone, but maybe a better GRUB expert can answer this question...? P.S. Please do not post full quotes, it is not necessary and not seasonable. -- bye Adalbert -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
