update fedora core 4 to 5

[znx]

The basic idea is to have your system fully up-to-date. Then you should make sure that you are using the NEWEST kernel.

 

Therefore reboot your system to it if needed. Remove all the old kernels by checking:

Code:

yum -y list installed | grep kernel

 

Remove any old kernels for instance:

Code:

yum remove kernel-2.4.11*

 

Once thats done, install the release file:

Code:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm

 

The do the upgrade.

Code:

yum update
yum upgrade

 

If you get a failure. As long as the package isn't system critical, remove it.

 

If all goes well, then a reboot and you should have FC5.
