Upgrade FC2 to FC3

[franklin97355]

What is the best way to upgrade Fedora from a working core2 to core3? I've run up2date but it only updates to the latest core2 (with the settings on the computer now) What do I need to run or how do I need to change the settings? Thanks, Steve.

What does the Fedora website say on the subject?

You need to change your yum.conf to reference the FC3 repositories. Then you usually want to upgrade yum, the kernel and glibc before doing a yum update.

Make a good backup.

thedaver, I found quite a bit on keeping your version up2date but nothing on changing between versions. I'm still looking.

To upgrade from FC2 to FC3, just run the install of FC3. It will detect the previous version and switch to update mode. It even updates the yum config to go to the FC3 repositories.

As always, an insurance-backup never hurts.

My question...

Does anyone know of a way to download all the errata updates and have the install use them while it's doing it's thing?

My first "yum update" took twice as long as the install.
