You can do anaconda-based upgrades remotely without any physical access to the machine, although obviously it's best to do it at a time when someone _could_ get at the machine if it goes wrong. Stick the vmlinuz and ramdisk.image.gz from the installer into your /boot and point yaboot.conf (or grub.conf) at them with enough arguments to get an IP address and start VNC. (I think you also have to specify keyboard type?). Reboot. Connect with VNC. Pause to swear vehemently about the fact that you can't now point it at the copy of the Fedora install tree which is already on your hard drive; that's been broken for the last year or two. Point it at a Fedora mirror somewhere off-site. Upgrade. When it's done, it'll reboot into the new kernel. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
