It's looking good so far. I upgraded yum itself first, then did a yum clean all, then moved modules.conf to modules.anacbak (not sure why I had to do this but it was recommended), then a yum upgrade...
It has taken about 3 hours and it appears it grabbed everything including the 2.6 kernel.
Running test transaction now.
Keep your fingers crossed. If I'm lucky ALSA might even work this time so I don't have to OSS again and shell out 20 bucks just for sound.
This is a great mailer guys. Thanks for all your helpl.
FWIW, you don't have to pay again for OSS. When I upgraded from RHL9 to FC2, I had to rerun the install/config, but it worked just fine.
Well, the interesting thing is. I blew up my original FC1 last night during the attempted upgrade, not sure what happened, but the system was hosed and would only start to boot, then just die.
So I had to do a fresh FC1 install since I can only use FC1 because of the regular floppy boot disks.
then start the upgrade process.
so it's on a fresh hard drive with bare/basic FC1. OSS isn't even installed yet.
downloading all the packages (second attempt) now.
poor little laptop...lol...
but with fluxbox on it it really is a nice little ride.
will update soon, should be getting to testing consistencies in a little while...
