[posted also to devel because I'm running FC5/Oscar 5] I've discovered my first big issue today with my ancient FC5 kernel (2054) (can't compile the nvidia driver, known bug with this kernel version) -- I want to update my system, or at least parts of it. I'll need other stuff updated too I know for sure (gcc, other stuff). But there were dire warnings about not updating a system when using OSCAR. I could find no section in the Oscar manuals on the overall approach one needs to take. Can I update my system using yum to the latest version of FC5??? Would it be better if I do this now, and then rebuild my kernel images? (Before I do my actual cluster install?) How do I make sure the new rpms are the ones in the image? (I copied the DVD to the tftpboot folder, but if I do yum, then I won't know where the packages are) Just as a comment, the installation manual is great, but this entire aspect of updating a system is important and doesn't seem to be treated anywhere. I would highly recommend adding an explanatory section to the installation manual. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Brad Aisa baisa at brad-aisa dot com
