patrick (and others!!) i've been going through this process for over a week now.. i gave up, and simply blew away the disk!!! however, it should be possible to get to FC3 from RH, although you might be advised to do it in a few steps. ie RH->FC1, FC1->FC3. if you're going to do it, you need to make sure your partitions are seetup to allow you to have the room on the '/' (boot) partition to accommodate the new files/os. you should also do a bit of research to see if anyone's had issues with your particular hardware prior to starting... while it didn't work for me, i'm prett well convinced that if you are a reasonable good admin, you can get it done with no issues. i stated admin, because if you run into issues, you're going to want to have the skills to resolve them or you might wind up blowing away your disk, and starting from scratch!! peace... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Patrick Horgan Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 11:18 AM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Can Federa be installed by updating Red Hat? I'm running Red Hat on my laptop and want to switch to Fedora. Can it be done as an update, or would I have to install over and existing installation and lose the stuff I have in my partitions? (Big pain in the butt but at least I could come up with a smarter partitioning scheme than I have;) Patrick Horgan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
