You can use rpm directly for simplicity: % rpm -q fedora-release fedora-release-20-1.noarch % sudo mount /dev/mapper/fedora-f19-root /mnt/f19 % rpm --root=/mnt/f19 -q fedora-release fedora-release-19-4.noarch `yum --installroot` should work similarly. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
