Here is a much easier way: use red-carpet. 1. Download the redhat-release rpm for RH 7.3 2. Install it 3. install red-carpet 4. upgrade away I did this to a system running RH 6.2; moved it to 7.2 Not a problem at all. This was done on a remote system. I believe you could also use a similar or identical process for up2date. I wrote a short article an put it on www.libc.org. In the article, I had done it for a 7.2 to 7.3 upgrade. of course, you need a good connection to do it. :) -- Bill Anderson RHCE #807302597505773 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
