Hi,
I want to upgrade my workstation from FC1 to FC2. A clean install isn't an option to me because my FC1 is customized heavily (to re-customize a cleanly installed FC2 would take days for me), and I'm running apt-get with a lot of atrpms additions, too.
The list archives didn't reveal much. So my question is, what's the simplest way to upgrade in my situation? I don't think upgrading via the official FC2 isos will work because of all the additional atrpms. Alternatively, I could install rpm, apt-get, and atrpms for FC2 on FC1 first, and then "apt-get dist-upgrade". Or is this the wrong way?
Thanks for your help
Here's what I did http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg05948.html. Just follow the prompts and choose disk, ftp or nfs. You would have to stage your ISOs in say a /home or /var partition before the reboot.
In both my updated sysmtems kudzu said it found a new keyboard. Hint Hint there is no new keyboard. Based on the errors reported at first boot, I then made this change to /etc/X11/XF86Config
# comment out as per bug 121016
# Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
I then made this change in the /etc/modprobe.conf file based on something I saw on the mailing list. I am sorry I that I don't have a reference for you. Look at the pcspkr stanza. You will have to compare this with your configuration and make adjustments.
# install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe pcspkr && /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
Along with the this change you will need to upgrade libgnome. I updated all my packages.
This has worked for me so far.
I hope this helps.
