Most recently on one of our servers I have upgraded from FC5 > FC6 and yes you do not get all the "bells and whistles". What it does is upgrade the core, and rpm modules installed to the FC6 corresponding rpm's. A re-install will definently be the best and give you all the bells and whistles. However on our one server that was upgraded to FC6 I have way to many custom scripts and configs to redo. Was looking forward to the eye candy provided from FC6. However manually installing some of these nice additions manually via yum should not be an issue? Anyone have a "yum install" list of what they have done to make use of the extra's from FC6 after an upgrade would be most beneficial. On another note I have noticed a nice OS speed increase and gui stability within Gnome which is very nice! cheers, Jim Clarke On Tue, 14 Nov 2006 10:25:43 -0800, W.John Guineau wrote > I know this is probebly not the most appropriate list, but probably > the most informed... > > I've done an "upgrade" to a new major Fedora version in the past and > it seems you are not left with all the new "bells and whistles" of > the newer version. > > Is an upgrade from FC5->FC6 virtually the same result as a clean FC6 > install > (and reinstall/setup of my environment)? > > If clean install, how can I most easily preserve things like user accounts > etc. when all are on the same disk? > > john > > -- -- BEGIN-ANTISPAM-VOTING-LINKS ------------------------------------------------------ If you are not the CanIt administrator and you think this message is spam, please give the id 77108 and magic value 2893307b999b to jclarke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to be marked as spam.
