Hello List,

I am closing in on my target date to switch over to FDS. On my test machines I have been running with FC4. I need to re-install the operating system and when I do I will have to use RHEL4.

My plan was to shutdown the DS.
Then make a tarball of /opt/fedora-ds and several other directories.
Next re-install with RHEL4
Drop in my iptables
Install fedora-ds and verify the OS / performance settings.
Then extract my fedora-ds tarball
and then hold my breath and start the DS service(s) and presto all is well???

I have no idea. It should work, but I really don't know if there are any runtime dependencies in the FDS FC4 RPM binaries that will break when run on RHEL4.


Does this sound like a feasible approach?

I am a little unsure if it will break any of my configured ssl stuff. Which is a basic self-signed scenario using the /opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin/certutil for the key generation.

I don't think that will be a problem as long as you don't change the hostname of the machine.

Also note that upgrading could be a problem since you aren't doing a standard RPM installation to begin with. You might be able to "trick" it by installing the Fedora RPM and then untarring over top of that.
