Yes, it was possible in F17. Now it isn't
:) It's kind of improvement in
installer.
2.) Installing F17 and upgrade using fedup. This fails. Seems like
fedup is
not able to handle this layout.
fedup is not touching anything in partition layout.
(someone on devel@
group stated this recently) fedup downloads packages, new kernel and
"installation" initrd. Then it uses yum/rpm do upgrade OS. So it should
be possible to upgrade your machine.
3.) Kickstart: It looks like this is most likely the way to get it
working.
But I was not able to write a working kickstart script. The online doc is not
enough for that. I found same kickstart examples using Google, but these
didn't work either.
This is the only chance to do what you want. I also wait
with
upgrade/reinstall on some of my boxes because I can't play with
kickstart to learn how it works. I have no spare box to destroy for one
day. You can see content of kickstart-ks.cfg in /root directory of your
Fedora 17 install and use it for new installation.
Maybe somebody can assists me with that or has a better idea how to install
that system.
I'm waiting for this feature to be available back in Fedora. For now I
don't have any good news for you. This kind of installation might be
only possible using kickstart. Please try Fedora 19, maybe it's
available again.
