Hey, here is a neat way to upgrade from FC2 to FC3 without doing a clean install, but using apt-get.

 

First you must find the apt repositories from somewhere, I used this page right here: Fedora Apt/Yum Repositories list.

 

Now go to your server and doing as root and backup the apt sources.list







 

Now, edit the sources.list. Remove everything inside and replace with the apt links from the Fedora Apt/Yum Repositories list.

 

Save and exit, then do an update and upgrade with apt-get.

 







 

This will take a while :)When finnished, reboot and you will have Fedora Core 3.

 

I dont know if this is a good way for doing it but it worked for me, so far so good.

Hi,

 

Thats a neat little trick :)you can also place the fedora 3 cd into your cdrom and

it will allow you to choose an upgrade installation :)

nice info
