Re: Updating from F9 to F12

Hi,

According to the wiki, it's simply not possible to upgrade to F12 from F10
or lower directly, see:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq#Fedora_11_-.3E_Fedora_12

It says:
It is not possible to update directly from Fedora 10 or earlier with yum.
To upgrade from Fedora 10, first update to Fedora 11, and then upgrade
from Fedora 11 to Fedora 12. If you are using a release before Fedora 10,
use one of the official upgrade methods or backup your data, perform a
fresh installation, and restore from backup.

Good luck!
