I uncommented the fedora core 1 repos of FreshRPMS, NewRPMS and Dag as well as Fedora Core. Then did: apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade Apt told me that there were some conflicts: like the new perl package now includes perl-CGI, perl-CPAN and perl-DB_File, and gucharmap and stickynotes_applet are now part of resp. gnome-utils and gnome-applets. Sadly Red Hat didn't obsolete these packages ;/ I also had to remove some ximian packages that were leftovers from my RH80+Ximian era. I removed all the conflicting packages with: rpm -e --nodeps .... so that depending packages were still installed. The second run I did: apt-get dist-upgrade -f and it worked flawlessly. I then rebooted the system into Fedora Core. The whole process took about 2hours, including downloading about 880MB (which took 41mins) and involved 782 packages. PS A few packages were removed as they had no Fedora version yet. PS2 You still have to upgrade the kernel (and kernel-modules) manually. PS3 FreshRPMS apt removed all my sources.
