I have Fefora Test 2. How do I upgrade safely to FC 1 ?

run up2date

I don't believe that you can use up2date to upgrade to a newer distribution.

Really?

[root@localhost root]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)

...from a system that started life as a test2 system.... Packages managed exclusively via up2date. I can't say that it's 100% accurate, but I would like to _believe_ that it is.....

I can think of at least one specific case that it isn't 100% accurate: ntp. A newer version of NTP was in the earlier tests, but was reverted because of problem with it. Check recent postings on the fedora-list and you will find out that people that have updated the tests have a different version than the ones that upgraded from previous RH releases or did a clean install.
