Hiya, just wondering how easy this would be, I'm guessing through yum, but is there a preferable process from updating from fed core 3 to centos ideally keeping settings as is? (desktop rather than server, just want to migrate to centos, nothing too essential apart from raw data). Ian

If server, you're going to have issues because CentOS is a _subset_ of Fedora Core, and you're going to be playing "dependency hell" as various packages installed have all sorts of issues with the lack of required packages. And if you throw "--force," well, have a nice life. ;-> If you mean user, then just copy over /home. Ideally you should be NFS or otherwise mounting it from a server anyway. -- Bryan J.

Some of the packages in CentOS are newer than in Fedora, some are older, and some don't exist at all. It's a maintenance nightmare. -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazquez at ivazquez.net> http://centos.ivazquez.net/ gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 38028b72 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Clean install is your friend. Take a safe backup of /etc and anything else you know that is needed. After installation your previous (FC) configuration files should be restored. You stand 99% chance that they are going to work. You will be ready in more or less 3 - 4 hours at most Have fun -- ########################################3 Zaharioudakis Nikos mob: +30 6947204063 On 6/11/05, Ian mu <mu.llamas at gmail.com> wrote:> Hiya, just wondering how easy this would be, I'm guessing through yum, > but is there a preferable process from updating from fed core 3 to > centos ideally keeping settings as is?
