Upgrading from RH 7.1 to 7.2

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

 



Hello,
The config files should be automatically saved in *.rpmsave files by the
upgrading process.  
The main difference between rh-7.1 and 7.2 is the introduction of the ext3
jurnalling file system.
One should considder if it would be werth upgrading
if there are a lot of custom configuration that has been done on 7.1.
Ext3 has more overhead than ext2, but it has the ability to do something
like point-in-time recovery.

I have done the upgrade on my box to try and get my onboard sound to work
with viavoice.  My lynx.cfg was lost in etc, but my .pinerc in
my home directory was kept.
