Surely if you have 3.2TB of disk-space,
you much have enough space for a separate partition to install Fedora-12
in parallel to Fedora-9?
I'd just get a Fedora-12 Live CD, see if it works on its own,
and if it does install it on a separate partition.
In my experience, the chances of pre-upgrade from F-9 to F-12 working
are practically zero.
A large portion of that space is dedicated to either client file share
or Virtual machines, so my ability to puck with space is limited, which
is my issue right now. the Pre-upgrade issue is something that I am
looking at and would like to avoid doing if possible. I have done a few
upgrades before using yum, with mixed results, but since this is a
rather well used box, as well as the Fedora 8 box, I would like to do
this the most logical, and most stable way as I possibly can.
