I have Red Hat Linux 9 (Shrike) installed now. How can I update to Fedora Core 2?
That is an excellent question. Of course you want to avoid the need to burn CDs, and would like to do a simple and reliable online install. And obviously you want to know how to make it work from behind your authenticating proxy that requires a userid and a password. You might be wondering whether it is as simple as pasting the right lines into your /etc/yum.conf file, and running yum -y update. It could be you are on the right track, or maybe not. Hopefully someone in the know will update this page soon to answer your excellent and insightful question. Hint 1: There are online resources on doing an unsupported and untested upgrade with Yum: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upgrading_Red_Hat_Linux_with_yum.html http://linux.duke.edu/%7Eskvidal/misc/fc1-fc2-yum-hints.txt It will be necessary to clean up some parts of the system configuration, because normally the Fedora Core Installer Anaconda would do that during a regular upgrade.
