Re: upgrading redhat 8.0 to Fedora Core 1 difficulties

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

 



I believe redhat has never supported over the net upgrades like this. The installer does extra magic. Try installing from the CD/DVD using an upgrade install.

If you have a requirement that over the net upgrades between releases be supported, then look at one of the debian based distros. They've supported that stuff for over a decade now.

[By supported I mean it is one of the officially sanctioned ways of moving between releases]

Good luck,
