CentOS - Mar 2005 - Upgrading FC1 to CentOS4

Hi All,

I know there have been discussions about upgrading FC# to CentOS3 in the
past, but I am wondering if this can be done to 4?  Specifically I have
  a fully updated FC1 that I would like to upgrade (if possible) to
CentOS4.  Any ideas or possible points of contention known?

Thanks,
jer

I would suggest a google for upgrade experiences from FC1 to FC3. That
should be 90+% the same as to CentOS4. I noticed very few differences
on my personal computer between FC3 and CentOS4.

I''ve noticed this question gets asked at least once or twice a day.

Personally, I recommend clean installs for any OS.  Upgrades always
present problems.  But there have been sucessful attempts to upgrade
from RH 7, 8, 9, EL2 & 3, Fedora 1, 2, 3 &  CentOS2 & 3 ->
CentOS4.

But if you are going to do an upgrade, I would suggest getting a dev
system and configuring it with FC1 just like your production server
and test upgrading.  Never, never, never try to do something without
testing first.

I''ve learned in business it''s always good to have dev systems
where
stuff gets tested out first.  Also, always have a backout plan so you
can get back to where you started from.
