I'd be interested to hear how possible this is? Having messed around with fedora quite a bit I decided to build a Redhat 9.0 system that I was happy with first, then upgrade once I'd got everything I wanted installed succesfully. ( using apt-get and freshrpms ) Coluld this be as simple as installing yum and changing my /etc/yum.conf to my old fedora's yum.conf and running yum upgrade? ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
