Is there any way to upgrade from RH9 to FC4 directly (without having to go
RH9 -> FC1 -> FC2 -> FC3 -> FC4)? Right now I have a dual boot with Windows
XP and RH9. I have the CDs for FC4, but I don't know if I can simply
"upgrade" from RH9 or if I'll have to do a fresh install. My biggest concern
is that I don't want to screw something up and lose windows (it's a HUGE pain
to re-install all of my programs) or my other files. Any suggestions on the
best course of action?
If you don't have any files on your Linux partitions you're worried about
keeping, doing a fresh install is pretty trivial--just make sure you don't
touch the partition table, and simply reuse your previous Linux partitions
for the new FC4 install.
If you're not completely comfortable doing this on your own, you may try
to get a "more experienced" Linuxer to help you through the first few
minutes of the install. If you don't have such a person handy, you may try
offering bribes^H^H^H^H^H^Hfriendly incentives such as pizza or root beer,
or just bring the box to the next UUG meeting.
