hi Ruediger, i saw the yum tutorial... i was/am of the believe that it should be possible to do an update via yum, where the yum repos is local to my network, on an ftp/nfs server... if i already download the iso files for the upgrade, as well as any update iso files, i could place these on my network, and attach them as i need. this approach should allow the upgrade/update process to occur in a reasonable manner. -----Original Message----- From: Ruediger Steffan [mailto:rue.steffan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 2:48 PM To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: auto/remote upgrade of the OS Hello Bruce, there is a tutorial on fedorawiki about upgrading with yum, but it is not recommended. I have a server which only can be accessed by a remote console, so I tried to upgrade FC3 to FC4 and then further to FC5. The upgrade to FC4 seemed to be OK, but there still remained FC3-Kernel and programms. The upgrade to FC5 did not work because of unresolveable dependencies. There are some more tutorials in the web, how to remote-upgrade FC3, but none of them worked on my server. Has anyone another idea?
