I was about to install FC 7 on my Laptop, but I dont want to re-format
my HD. I'm currently using FC6 64bit. I just want to ask, have you
successfully upgraded your FC6 64bit to FC7 64bit without
re-configuring several setup, for example Web Servers and Databases.
Thanks!

I give a summary of the steps in doing a full install
of Fedora 7, or of doing an upgrade from Fedora Core 6
to Fedora 7.
Before doing the 2 steps below, I'd do this first:
#mv /etc/yum.repos.d /etc/yum.repos.d.orig
#mkdir /etc/yum.repos.d
#chmod 755 /etc/yum.repos.d
The above procedure is intended to avoid having conflicting modules
in your upgrades. Conflicts will bomb out your procedure.
Then proceed with,
#rpm -Uvh \
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-notes-7.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
#rpm -Uvh \
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-7-3.noarch.rpm
After the 2 steps above, the procedure I follow is to do,
#yum -y update kernel (instead of yum -y upgrade).
Then an extra step namely, reboot linux to the updated kernel and do
#yum -y update
Then, manually restore what ever repos you have in your
/etc/yum.repos.d.orig and run this again
#yum -y update
When you 'yum -y upgrade' without updating and rebooting to kernel FC7
you'd get many conflicting
systems modules that will not resolve and hence will bomb out your
upgrade procedure.
Hope this helps.
