Usually the most well-tested upgrades are to $release+ "Upgrade to current release directly Preupgrade provides an upgrade directly to the latest version of Fedora. It is not necessary to upgrade to intermediate versions. For example, it is possible to go from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 directly." fyi, roger wells I surely hope that if F12->F14 is *not* a supported upgrade path, then preupgrade should *NOT* allow it to be done. There was a problem with a previous release (ISTR it was either F9 -> F11 or F10 -> F12) not being able to be skipped, and part of the process disallowed it. Unfortunately, it was after the packages had been downloaded, but it was right after the first re-boot to install them, and the particular error message was buried in one of the alternate windows, but, it clearly stated that the upgrade I was trying was not supported (I did indeed need to go through the intermediate step). [The problem was the visible error message only stated that the update process could not find the previous installation root.] That requirement was also documented in the release notes. I saw nothing in either the F13 or F14 release notes requiring a serial update from F12.Don't forget to go through all the .rpmnew and .rpmsave files and replace/merge them as necessaryGood point, I forgot about those. I will have to go looking for them.... -- Roger Wells, P.E. SAIC 221 Third St Newport, RI 02840 401-847-4210 (voice) 401-849-1585 (fax) roger.k.wells@xxxxxxxx |
