[CentOS] VLC package(s) for C6 ?
Hi listees! Just installed C6 (more or less) permanently on my eeepc. I've enabled rpmfusion non-free, rpmfusion free, elrepo, and epel, prior to this point I've been running fedora on it (f10 thru f14) and have always found VLC at rpmfusion. (but finally RHEL/Centos have become modern enough to support the eeepc's funky hardware, so I'm switching back--tired of the version churn of Fedora.) but RpmFusion does not seem to have packaged VLC for EL6, nor have epel or elrepo, Anyone know where to find such packages? thanks!

[CentOS] Upgrading from CentOS 5.6 to 6.0
Help! Just ran the installation DVD but there is no option to 'upgrade'. Looked at the RHEL docs, http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installati on_Guide/ch-guimode-x86.html#id4594292 referenced off the CentOS Release notes but the CentOS installation doesn't offer the 'upgrade'. I use to be able to upgrade by doing a 'yum update'. That doesn't work either. Guess I'm stuck with 5.6 as I an not about to install a new version and have to rebuild all non-rpm packages from scratch. This is worse than Microsoft!! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I started with slackware 1.0 on a pentinum 1 system from VaResearch back in the mid 90's, change to Redat 2.0, then Fedora, then to Whitebox, then CentOS..

And even *if* you would be able to upgrade from CentOS 5.x to 6 - technically and by personal skills - what makes you think that your self compiled software would not completely fail, just because libraries change? If you would have gone the proper way by using rpms, or where not available by building your own rpms, things would be no drama for you when doing a fresh install of CentOS 6, because you could again install additional software from 3rd party repositories or you could just rebuild and install your own rpms.
