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, -Allen On Thursday 23 March 2006 07:38, Noah wrote: > > Hi there, > > I am having some difficulties upgrading redhat 8.0 to FC1.
