After having complete and total failure on the "upgrade" - if anyone's paying any attention from RedHat, this is *not* acceptable in a business environment, or for desktop users - every single time the python scripts with anaconda *failed* with unhandled exceptions, I went on to Plan B.[snip]
Congratulations! You've upgraded from a release that Red Hat stopped supporting December '03 to a release that Red Hat stopped supporting April '04. It's clear from your actions that you've done very little research into which upgrade paths Red Hat actually supports.
You're missing the point: perhaps you could describe your recent upgrades, and whether the "upgrade from a previous release" actually *works*, rather than crashing anaconda 100% of the time?
How 'bout telling us all how you personally upgraded from shrike to, say, fedora 1 or 2 (gee, I could have *sworn* fedora was a different mailing list, but that's not the point), and how the *upgrade* - NOT reinstall - went. I'd personally be interested in hearing that, and whether any of what's in shrike is not upgraded, or left out, or what I'd have to worry about in a ->UPGRADE<-, not a reinstall, to have a running system like the one I was upgrading from, at the end of the upgrade.

PS I'm running shrike, with (of course) upgraded libs and kernel. I am *not* going to put a version of Linux on that I *haven't* run, for someone with a very short temper, who uses the system like a "typical user".... <g>
