Hi, > I am running FC3 atm, and will upgrade during the week and have a few > questions: > - Is the upgrade mode reliable, or is it better to do a fresh install ? Depends on how screwed up your machine is and by that I mean how much "non-standard" code do you have on the box? If you're like the vast majority of FC users, it's fine. I've gone from a RH9 to FC3 box in one shot before now. I did have to do a completely fresh install from FC1 to FC2 due to my system being somewhat insane and it also needed it! > If not, then: > - Is there an easy way to backup setting files (/etc, ...) ? I'd make a copy of /home/<usernames> just incase. Everything else should be fine. > - Do I have to remove my ~/gtk* directories ? Not that I can see.
