It can be a bit tricky, however. Try it out on a test system before thinking about doing it on a production system. I've had the best luck with yum. Edit /etc/yum.conf and point it to the new repository (i.e. from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/yum/fedora">ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/yum/fedora</a> to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/yum/fc2">ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/yum/fc2</a>) and run "yum upgrade". If the "yum upgrade" works, great. It probably won't, it will bomb out with dependancy errors. That's where it gets tricky. You can try running "yum list updates" and then running "yum update <package_names>" with some of the packages listed in the "yum list updates". After a while you get a good feel of what needs to be upgraded in what order. I usually do "glibc glibc-common rpm rpm-python popt db4 compat-db" first, then do the command line utilities, libraries, and GUI packages in that order. Once you think you are done, run "yum upgrade" again. As you can tell, it is often much easier to upgrade off the CDs ;-) -Eric _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
