Was asking about the safest way. I've also done a number of two version updates over the years. Had a classroom with 21 computers, and generally, wouldn't do an upgrade in the middle of a semester, so 2 version upgrades where common. It was just one time years ago, that doing the two version upgrade caused a system to fail to boot after the upgrade. Tried a couple of things, but couldn't get it to work, so just reimaged it to the previous setup, and did two 1 version updates that worked fine. Always, did an image backup before just in case, but also had other systems that could be reimaged to it if a problem happened. Takes more time, and probable not likely to have any issue, but one never knows. Retired after 36 years of teaching, so haven't done a 30 to 32 upgrade. Started with Unixware as first unix related system, and the went to RedHat 9. Went from Fedora Core 1 to the Fedora 32. Have 5 linux systems at home doing stuff. 3 are Fedora 32, 2 are still Fedora 31. > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
