joako Premium join:2000-09-07 Gainesville, FL	RHEL Upgrade Is there any way I can do an upgrade of RHEL3 to 4 in-place on a running system? I'm having a hell of a time compliling kernel modules so I figured I might as well upgrade. I also created a circular symlink I can't delete! -- 09:F9:11:02:9D:74:E3:5B:D8:41:56:C5:63:56:88:C0

In-place upgrades using Fedora are pretty smooth. I went from FC3 or 4 (don't remember which) to FC6 on a colo server in a PoP halfway around the world once. There are a few gotchas when going from FC6 to FC7/FC8 though. Interesting article about "pre-upgrade" (in-place upgrade feature) in RH Magazine recently: »www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/04/1···l-woods/

I'm much less convinced of this working. -- Ubuntu MOTU Developer and Forums Council
