Hi guys, I have been given a workstation with Fedora 11 (Leonidas) installed by our IT team. I'm running web-based tool on it, purely Perl based. I have also data there that I would like to keep while upgrading to Fedora 15 (or maybe wait a ~month longer and upgrade it directly to Fedora 16). I would like to ask for recommendation on what's the easiest way to jump through so many releases? I have basic linux experience since I'm doing some programming. Do I need to use external storage to be able to upgrade or I can go through yum? If I could go with yum, I would appreciate if you provide me with the command. What other things should I consider before upgrading from Fedora 11 to Fedora 15 or 16? Thanks! ----------------------------------------- Merak, Fedora does have a utility that starts with 'preupgrade' that allows you to go from one revision to the next sequential revision. However, every time I have used this I have had problems. I have only been able to make this work on one machine going from F13 to F14. It would really be great if this utility worked easily, but it has not work well for me. I would advise you to offload all files you need to keep and do a 'clean install'. The other item I would encourage you to look at are the hardware limitations of F15 compared to F14. I have a lot of older equipment that requires my support that are restricted by an upper limit of 512 mgs of memory. These machines will not work on F15. F15 also has gnome3 that has failed to work on some of my older equipment so beware. Good Luck!!!
