It took about 1-1.5 hours to do it, and afterwards all worked without problems, there is small issue with apache I believe, but once you update via your package manager it should be resolved. Regards, Sean -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Can someone comment on upgrading using either YUM or APT-GET? I tried upgrading a system from FC1 -> FC3 using the CD method and it wasn't 100% successful, I had to finish the upgrade using apt-get, yum failed with a strange error message. On another system I did a FC2 -> FC3 via CD and that was 100% successful. I am also considering a RH7.1 upgrade to FC3, can anyone comment on that? Thanks.
