Upgrading from FC3 to Centos 4...

Hi.  I'm contemplating migrating from FC3 to Centos 4RC1 and I'm just 
wondering, is it possible to *upgrade* from FC3 or do I have to do a 
back-up, do a fresh install and restore config files?  Anyone know 
what's the best way to go?  Thanks a lot.

Re: Upgrading from FC3 to Centos 4...

It's been discussed on the list previously.
It is *recommended* to do a clean install.

Search the mailing lists, you'll find one user did post info on doing
an upgrade...
It worked... albeit a few packages were still needing a manual upgrade.

Personally... I would start clean... it removes an 'legacy data'
floating around.

Cheers,

Matt.

Re: Dag repository?

I find if there is no package for the chosen distro version... grab
one of his SRPMS.  and build yourself.

Those interested in CentOS 4.0 might also want to check out this
FreshRPMS thread initiated by Dag...
http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2005-February/012477.html

Other SRPMS packages from http://rpmforge.net/ may be of interest to re-
builders.  Another related and useful Dag/rpmforge link:
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/rpmforge.php

Dag or RPMforge RHEL4 RPMS should work for CentOS 4.0, WBEL 4.0, ...

Everyone just do one thing.... no peeking at the presents until santa
(johnny hughes jr) tells you to look.

Actually even though the mirrors are syncing, we still have a couple of
last minute issues to address, so please wait until you see the official
announcement that the release is official before trying to upgrade,
install, etc.

As always, the website www.centos.org and the CentOS mail list will
carry word of the news.

In case you think your mail is broken and your web browser keeps giving
you old pages, you can watch http://mirror.centos.org/centos/ to see if
the present has arrived under the tree.

RE: Packages on demmand

Yes, I have already thought about that.. But every
host  has different packages installed (except common
pacakges like glibc, kernheaders, etc).....
