Re: Fedora 8 to Fedora 9 migration
Adil Drissi wrote: How can I upgrade my fedora 8 to fedora 9? There are several methods: preupgrade, upgrades using the installer (either from the DVD or from the HDD or through the network), live upgrades (i.e. yum upgrade on a running system - those are not officially supported, but tend to work, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq ). It is also possible to just reinstall (using either the installer DVD or a live CD), but be warned that this WILL delete all your system-wide configuration and MAY also delete your home directories (in fact it WILL delete them if you do not have a separate /home partition (resp. /root for root's home), and even if you do have one, you have to be careful not to select it for formatting). Note that live CDs may not be used to upgrade, only to reinstall. But are you sure you don't want to go straight to Fedora 10? Fedora 9 also has only 6 months of lifetime left. It's generally a good idea to always use the newest version if possible, so upgrading to the previous version is usually a bad idea.

Be aware that you may run into problems with the preupgrade method. See the thread http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2008-12/msg01683.html I encountered this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218181 which is 2 years old and marked as urgent.
