It has been an interesting 24 hours. Managed to get what appears to be a RH8 apt-get dist-upgrade to take. Now, also have a yum version for rh8 installed, and a /etc/yum.conf file to look at. I want to use yum to move rh8 up to rh9. Can you point me to the documentation to set yum up to do that? Any pointers appreciated. My goal is to keep upgrading until I get to FC4. Is this doable, without the ability to burn CDs? Tom
If you have a fast connection and can dl the cd/dvd, you can install from the hard drive. All you need do is copy the relevant vmlinuz and initrd.img to /boot, amend lilo.conf/grub.conf to suit, backup /home & /etc and reboot. You'll then have various ways to install FC4.
