Hi: I'm new to this list and haven't found a searchable archive, but I
haven't seen this topic in Google.
My box came with MS Vista and I initially added f10, which was fully
updated until near EOL. Later I added a second disk and f12, and
recently I used preupgrade for f12-to-f13. That went well, and I
decided to try f10-to-f14. The packages were identified and put into
cache and after I had copied the new lines in grub.conf from disk 1 to
disk 2 the upgrade entry appeared in the Grub menu. The kernel boots
but I don't think it sees the preupgrade cache and the only option
offered is to upgrade the f13 system. I don't want to do that.
I've tried various modifications to grub.conf without success. One
recent iteration is below. The f10final and f13 entries, and the MS
related ones, all work and I've left the f10release entry in case it
holds useful data. I downloaded the f14 installer and when I specify
its location on disk 2, (/dev/sdb1 /install.img) it runs. Again, the
location specified in grub.conf apparently doesn't get used, although
it's there too.
TIA, John P.
