I upgraded Fedora 10 to 11, it was a bad move, i had just installed ispconfig, the upgrade killed my network which was no big deal but it also killed my ispconfig and who knows what else, and that was a big deal. ISPconfig is not compatable with fedora 11, As far as i can see there is no way to roll back the upgrade, I wound up reinstalling whole thing. So... be carefull what you wish for; lol dang eh ? -----Original Message----- From: blinux-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blinux-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of John G.

For more information, search google for yum upgrade fedora. I reinstalled FC9 and this time I tried to upgrade from 9 to 10. It sort of did the same thing. After I rebooted, I could not ssh to the machine. But this time I waited all night after I rebooted. And this morning I can ssh to the machine again. So apparently it's just a matter of waiting long enough for everything to be installed. Ittook about 3 hours from the time I first rebooted until it rebooted itself. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
