Is there a way to upgrade from Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 3 using the default update program?

This question realy belongs on fedora-list but yes you can ("not recommended") using yum rather than dropping in a Fedora Core 3 CD. It isn't how you are meant to do it.
Ask on fedora-list someone will have instructions

i've live-upgraded from fc2 to fc3 using yum. a little scary but it worked.
supported live upgrades is something that would be _really_ cool though.

It's really tricky with the kernel changes that happen b/t fedora releases. even more tricky when you remember all the 3rd party binary-only kernel modules that people glom onto their system.

Most userspace stuff is independent of kernel version though... in any case FC2->FC3 did work so it would be nice if it were officially tested and supported in some way.

Well it is tested. trust me, i test it a lot. :)
but being officially supported is harder. Heck, you know what anaconda does when the going gets rough on unresolvable deps, right?

the same thing yum does when faced with multiple architectures -- toss its cookies? :))

What're you talking about? Can you give me a situation where yum errors out in the face of multilib or multiarch? I've not seen a bug report of this sort.
Thanks, -sv

it doesnt error out, it just doesnt always handle things properly. as discussed many times on this list when trying to do 'yum update' on x86_64. yum getting confused when trying to do updates where there are multiple architectures involved.

I wouldn't have a problem with the amount if the unit was shipped in a reasonable amount of time. I've ordered and received many items since I ordered from you and their shipping and handling was about a third of what you are charging. You are not shipping from New York or I would have received my order by now. I don't appreciate being given the false impression that I was dealing with as US based company when you are not.

I'm guessing you replied to the wrong message.

But it is slightly hairy going from a fully populated /dev to a dynamic /dev populated by udev. It works, but you must be careful about what's updated when and that you don't mistakenly reboot at the wrong point. Actually, I think I may be referring to a manual piecemeal rpm update I did. Still, you wind up with some weirdness that only safely goes away on reboot. In theory, it's a good idea to support this kind of upgrade, but given the differences between some releases, updating from one to the other on a live system can cause problems. My preferred method is always to upgrade using anaconda (second only to clean installing from anaconda when possible).
