CentOS - Aug 2008 - remote install/upgrade of FC3 name server to CentOS 4 or 5

Hello,

Does anyone know of a good URL that covers the remote install/upgrade
of a FC3 system to CentOS 4 or 5?

We have one physically stranded FC3 system which is a name server and
we need to upgrade to remove vulnerabilities.

Kind regards/ldv

There is no good upgrade path, your best off re-installing, or upgrade
to a newer version of fedora.

If you have a nice server that has stuff like remote console and remote
virtual media you can re-install from scratch remotely without much
trouble.

its just a name server?   backup the DNS zones and conf files, format 
and clean install C5, configure the DNS service with the saved zones.   
note that BIND has gone through some changes since FC3 was current, and 
you likely won't want to use your old named.conf verbatim, rather, copy 
the specific settings over into the new one.    the zone files have 
moved from their old default location of /var/named to 
/var/named/chroot/var/named/{master|slave}, and the conf file has moved 
from /etc/named.conf to /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
