Single upgrades (10->11, 11->12, 12->13, 13->14) generally work, but skipping intermediate stages is quite problematic. There's a lot of stuff that changed significantly between F10 and F14. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Grabel's Law: 2 is not equal to 3--not even for large values of 2. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
