That is what I have tried to do with pretty good results. I started with fc4 and then a "yum upgrade" to fc5 when fc6 came out and to fc6 when fc7 came out.. I had been hoping to continue longer with the "Legacy" updates", but that went out. I had planned to skip a level and do an upgrade once a year. What is "k12ltsp release" ? I am getting ready to do another yum upgrade but I view this one with trepidation because I have pata drives and, through no fault of my own, am using lvm (the install put that on by default). I have been watching a bug report that of a kernel panic on first boot for raid and lvm systems. There is apparently a patch out but no updated package yet. I haven't seen any reports of successful yum upgrades for f7 lvm systems. I know that yum upgrades are not recommended, but I figure the worst that can happen will be a failure followed by a clean install. The other choice is to go directly to a clean install followed by a bunch of updates. Almost equal except for the personal changes I have made. My main reason for upgrading is to get security updates. Any comment or advice would be welcome. I really appreciate the education I get on the list.
