Restarting fedup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So I decided to try fedup using the network install option. Spent most
of the day downloading over 2700 packages (I have a whole 1Mbps link,
woohoo), rebooted, selected the System Upgrade option, then sat watching
the Fedora logo fade in, fade out, fade in , fade out, ... with no sign
that any progress was being made. Is this right?

Anyway, I lost patience and hit ESC to see what was happening. The
console showed an error message from dracut-cmdline about KEYTAB being
deprecated. A Google search shows that this error dates back to
September, with the latest BZ update in October, but does it actually
matter? Who can say?

I stared at the console for a few more minutes and nothing whatsoever
seemed to be happening, so I rebooted. The System Upgrade option had now
vanished from the Grub menu, so I booted into F17 and re-executed the
fedup line.

And it started downloading about 1390 of the packages all over again.
These are packages that are *already* in /var/lib/fedora-upgrade.

How can I avoid wasting even more hours on this? Is there no way to tell
fedup where to look for the new packages other than the network or an
ISO file?
