I'm working on upgrading my classroom lab from Fedora 14 to 16 and doing a test on one system. Most things have gone ok with a few issues. 1. X11 didn't come up after the upgrade from dvd, but deleting xorg.conf fixed that. 2. Running yum update afterwards would found over 400 updates, but it would crash even with --skip-broken. Fixed that by using yumex, and doing small groups of updates, and then skipping just the ones that caused problem. 3. Desktop icons missing from programs that were there before. installing gnome-tweak-tool seems to have gotten what I want. 4. Issue with grub.conf update. Didn't notice that there was a change in the grub process. The new grub2 got the Fedora options, and the os-probe seems to have gotten the XP that is on the machine. Two other options that were in the original xorg.conf are missing, and the memtest was also gone. Got memtest by just running the setup process, but not clear what would be the best option for the other two. Perhaps the 40_custom. Remotely accessing the system from home via VNC, so thought might get some expert advice. Here are the old lines from the grub.conf title G4L kernel /bz3x1.4 ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram0 telnetd=yes initrd /ramdisk.lzma title G4L Restore XP kernel /bz3x1.4 ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram0 telnetd=yes run="mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/local && cd /mnt/local && ./reimagexp " initrd /ramdisk.lzma The first option loads my diskimaging project into ram and allows access from anther machine behind the firewall to run it remotely. The second option is able to restore the Windows XP from an ntfsclone image stored on /dev/sda6, which allows the quick restore of the XP in about 10 minutes for any reason. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
