If that is the case, you may be able to find something through Google that describes a procedure for upgrading a system through an ftp conection. Upgrading through synaptic might work, but I don't think synaptic/yum/up2date are designed to do that. I am no expert, but I think downloading the isos for the later distribution you are interested in and then choosing the upgrade option for installation would likely be a safer route than trying to do it through synaptic. Since "upgrade" is offered as an installation option, the task was anticipated and designed into the installation program (anaconda). FWIW -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list I think you can do it with apt-get -f dist-upgrade
