In theory. You will probably need to do some fooling around with dropped packages that may block updates. The base procedure is to do yum update -y --releasever=16 fedora-release yum update -y If you have a kitchen sink install, probably the update will fail or just not update a lot of packages. Typically you need to remove some old packages and try again. Eventually you want to run yum distro-sync to catch packages that have a higher NVR in F14 than F16. I don't like to start with that, because the choices yum distro-sync makes for trying to sync things up is often not what I want when doing an upgrade. Once things are pretty much there it is nice to help clean things up. Afterwards you'll want to run package-cleanup --orphans to find orphaned packages and then decide how you want to handle them. -- 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
