In my experience, you'll spend far more time trying to do what you want (install several updates, try to get things to carry over from one version to the next without major failures due to changes between versions, trying to carry on using software that you use but no-long exists, etc), than installing a fresh new version on another disc or partition, then copying old data and configurations into the new system. Even if nothing goes wrong, the time involved in several system updates isn't insignificant. For what it's worth, I still have a FC4 server, it does what I need it to do, it's isolated on a LAN, no point in changing it. But the other things around it are kept much closer to the current release. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.12.8-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 17 15:30:20 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
