I upgraded from RH8 to Fedora 1.0 with poor results. Many things were completely hosed, including grub, which seemed to have disappeared entirely on my dual boot machine (I was no longer even given the boot selection screen - it just booted directory into Fedora). Also, my eth0 connection was gone completely, with Fedora complaining that it my 3com nic card was no where to be found. Interestingly, when I booted into rescue mode using the Fedora install CDs, the nic card was there, so I knew there was nothing wrong with either Fedora or the nic, but it had to be with the upgrade. There were other issues, as well, but since I couldn't seem to get past these 2, I ended up rerunning the install and choosing INSTALL instead of UPGRADE. I noticed that you can choose to NOT format the partitions (I had not seen that before), and so I went that route, ending up with a working Fedora 1.0 install and my existing data still intact. So, my experience with upgrading using the UPGRADE option from the install CD was a disaster, but so far the upgrade using the INSTALL option and not formatting the partitions is working well. The only thing I've noticed so far is that my sound isn't working (always seems to be a problem), and pine was not working. I've fixed the latter, by simply doing an rpm -e pine, and re-installing it. Anybody else have input on installing without formatting the partitions? Have I introduced any problems with this method that I should be aware of? Bill Johnson "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things that thou knowest not."
