It doesn't for me. I have exactly this problem trying to run preupgrade on my Acer Aspire One. It goes through the whole production, downloads everything and at the end it tells me that I need 1.5mb more space in /boot. My only options at that point are "check again" and "quit". If I quit, it's game over. Running preupgrade after that tells me that everything is ready, reboot. If I do so, grub takes me right back into Fedora 11. The only entry in grub.conf is the single kernel that I have left on that machine; there's nothing else that I can see that I could remove from /boot to gain 1.5mb. I can go through the whole (multi-hour) process again by rm -fr /var/cache/yum/preupgrade* Then preupgrade will ask me if I want to start upgrading and go through the whole process again, up to where it tells me that I am 1.5mb short of space in /boot and "check again" or "quit". I have done this three times today with exactly the same result. I read someone here stating that a wired connection requires less space in /boot for some reason, so I just finished running the process on a wired connection to my Acer Aspire One (the previous two attempts were on the wireless connection), but I got exactly the same result. I'm really at a loss for where to go from here in order to upgrade that machine to Fedora 12. I can't even download a netboot disk and upgrade from that because that machine has no drives and setting up a Fedora Live image on a USB flash drive won't allow me to run an upgrade (as far as I'm aware, anyway). -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
