Hi, I had a Fedora10 box which I upgraded to Fedora11, it didn't go that smoothly. The way I did that was: Yum update rpm Yum update Yum clean all Yum install preupgrade preupgrade-cli "Fedora 11 (Leonidas)" This left the system in a working state (I think the system rebooted once after the initial upgrade/download), but there was a lot of mess leftover afterwards, I ended up wiping the machine (it was my dev box and /home was mounted elsewhere), and reinstalling. There is only a couple of third party packages keeping me from moving to Debian (or Ubuntu). One thing: there was no X server installed on that machine. My RedHat upgrade experiences (whether on RedHat 8 to 9, which left me in RPM hel, or upgrading from RHEL4 to RHEL5 (which left me in a Udev mess)) have never gone well. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of John G. Heim Sent: 22 June 2009 23:04 To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] fedora preupgrade-cli Anybody know how to use the fedora preupgrade-cli script? I ran it to upgrade a system from fedora 9 to 10. After downloading 900Mb of files, it said "Upgrade will begin after you reboot". So I rebooted. But now I cannot ssh into the machine. It seems to me that the preupgrade-cli program shouldn't require you to have console access. Else how do you remotely upgrade a fedora machine? _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/mailman/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
