YUM and 64 bit upgrade to 1.1 questions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

 

I have some questions upgrading 3 Red Hat systems (ES3, 4 x86 & ES5x86_64, one each) from FDS 1.01-4 to 1.1.

 

  1. On RHES5.1 x86_64, is it safe to do yum to update the installation? There are a lot of warnings out there about yum vs Beta of 1.1. Should I remove all of 1.01-4 first?
  2. Should I be using redhat-ds instead of fedora-ds for supported RH systems?
  3. Searching for packages in rhn.redhat.com, there is no redhat-ds available. Shouldn’t it be there? I have entitlements for 3, 4 and 5.
  4. Must I use YUM for Enterprise 4 systems? Why can’t I just download an FDS 1.1 RPM and install it? It would be much easier than converting E4 systems to YUM.
  5. If I must use YUM, is there some EASY, STRAIGHTFORWARD instructions for installing YUM on ES4? Everything out there seems to assume I am setting up some grand upgrade redistribution engine when all I want is a few packages.
