I *think* it's possible to upgrade from a .iso on the hard drive -- right? How? I managed to upgrade FC5 to FC6, because I have CDs for that; but I want to get clear to F8, and the machine I'm trying to upgrade has only a CD drive. If I plug in my external USB DVD drive, it's a big fight to get it to acknowledge that drive exists; it refuses utterly to boot from it, despite anything I do in the BIOS. So last night I copied the DVD onto the hard drive. It is at / root/_FU_20070912_7_i386_DVD_.iso -- as the copying function said, and as nautilus duly displays. Do I try to open it with FC6's anaconda? Get it to display the contents of the .iso and open the anaconda there? (I imagine that must be what it does if I upgrade a machine that can boot from DVD.) Or is there some strange madman's magic that I wot naught of? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.20, Opera 9.27, Firefox 2.0 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
