You can simply download up2date from http://fedora.redhat.com/ and install that on Red Hat 9. Then you can let up2date upgrade you from 9 to fedore core 1. The annoying thing is that up2date depends on other things like Python and such so you have to grab various rpms until all the dependencies are satisfied, but once you do then you can use up2date to upgrade. It's rather cool. Be sure to edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to have something like this... yum fedora-core-1 http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/fedora.redhat/linux/core/1/i386/os/ yum updates-released http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/fedora.redhat/linux/core/updates/1/i386/ and comment out the defaults or up2date will SUCK. (Pick a different mirror than I did because if we all point at gatech.edu then it will suck like the main fedora site does. Mirrors are all listed on fedora.redhat.com) http://lists.joshie.com/pipermail/linux/2004q1/000059.html The above message talks about the way to use up2date to do release upgrades. Instead of fedora-core-rawhide you want to use fedora-core-1... unless you want to insert a yum source in your sources for rawhide and go to fedora test core 2. -- Joshua Levitsky, MCSE, CISSP System Engineer Time Inc.
