I've done several of these in-place yum upgrades, with little trouble, from FC2->FC8, running each intermediate version for a while. There were some gotchas I wouldn't expect a typical home user to be able to work around, but anyone with basic *nix admin skills should be able to handle. The version that turned SELinux on by default (5? 6?) caused me the most trouble, until I realized what the real problem was and turned SELinux off, the way Bob intended. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP KeyID 0x57C3430B Holder of Past Knowledge CS, O- "Moderation is a fatal thing; nothing succeeds like excess."
