Old FC4 server - cyris - 2007-08-09
Hey everyone,
I'd like to upgrade our old FC4 server to FC7, however this machine is our production mail server/web server. I can have a few hours of down time but I'd rather not rebuild from scratch.
Can I upgrade from yum or the install DVD ?

the best advice is first backup.
once you've backed up everything important take the upgrade (via yum) this way.
fcr4>fcr5>fcr6>fc7
it involves a lot more work but it'll work better than jumping directly from fcr4 to f7.
details of how to yum upgrade (linux-noob.com was recently upgraded from fcr4>fcr5>fcr6) can be found here
