been that the supported method was to upgrade via the standard anaconda
installer. However the up2date and reboot method has often worked.
Just so ya know, I've updated a RH 7.3 -> 9 using apt; it was amazingly simple, secure and the process was even fun. "apt-get dist-upgrade" was all there was. All online, I didn't even _have_ to reboot.
Surely up2date can do this, too, right- it's still just a mechanism of transport...RPMs are RPMs, aye?
