The Fedora 23 installation on my laptop will not boot. grub.cfg
is missing, for some reason. I don't have a backup and trying to
rebuild grub.cfg seemed a bit problematic. (I'm able to awkwardly
boot into a Ubuntu install on the laptop and I have a bit of concern
that running grub-install will end up breaking that.)
I wanted to repair/upgrade the F23 install with F25. Booting the
Live DVD, there isn't an option to repair/upgrade an existing
install, and when I try to do a new install, the installer will
not let me install over the existing F23 root. (When I select the
old root partition as /, it will not add it to the new install
partitions.)
The Fedora documentation that I find says that the Live CD/DVD does
not support doing an upgrade, I need to use a bootable DVD. The
documentation says that an existing install will be automatically
recognized when it is booted. I'm not able to find a complete
bootable image for Fedora 25 Workstation. When I found the spins
of Fedora 25, each seems to be a Live image, not bootable.
Q: Is a complete bootable Fedora 25 Workstation image available?
Q: Is the Fedora 25 Server image a complete bootable DVD including
KDE?
Q: Is there a way to tell the Live installer to upgrade/replace
an existing installation?
Q: Is there another path to upgrading a damaged installation?
