Martin, I have a wonderful running F8 just like you. However, early on in my quest to use Fedora, I read an article from the Community gurus that you should never trust using the upgrade method. I have followed that religiously. I would suggest that you try a copy of VirtualBox. It is VM product which is now owned by Sun Microsystems. It is still free and comes in Windows and Linux. I use it to load new releases of Fedora and also as VM of Windows XP Pro. Go to the Sun website and lookit up. It loaded for me perfectly and works as advertised. Thanks and good luck. <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 6:31 AM, Martin Schoch <<a href="mailto:mschoch@gmail.com">mschoch@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello , silly - I know ;-) I have a Fedora 8 installation which runs perfectly - with webserver as Intranet with many modules -- runs without any problems. But Fedora 9 is out - should I make the upgrade or should I follow "Never change a running system"? As I understood many postings, an upgrade would be a very good idea - much better and more stable would be a very fresh Installation. Only then I would have to re-compile all my additional modules - I really do not know whether the effort worthwhile ... Someone made similar considerations and then did the upgrade then? -- Best regards, Martin mailto:<a href="mailto:mschoch@gmail.com">mschoch@gmail.com</a> -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </blockquote></div>
