It usually takes a little bit of manual assistance (like installing > compat-db and/or compat-openssl packages) but works fine. So, a first cut upgrade-on-the-fly plugin would handle those compat packages, the problem with packages which conflict with old kernels, and things like the "oh, you had mozilla -- now you probably want firefox" hack. And it should know to look for any particular situations where it should bail -- like LVM1. Maybe I should go through the anaconda code and make a Catalog of Kludges. That sounds like a good time. :) -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
