Hi,

has anyone completed (successfully) and upgrade from: Fedora Core 3 - Test 1 to Test 2 via APT?

I would also like to hear about any upgrade success with 'synaptic'

Regards,

Stephen

Looks like no one reading this thread knows how to do this then...

Maybe I have to bite the bullet and plain upgrade via burnt cdrom instead :-(

I don't think it will work....at least nicely.....apt / yum are having repository problems with Fedora last version...i talk from myself.

Yes,

When your running a "Test" release you are always pulling from "Rawhide" or development branch. So you are always up2date w/ a simple yum update. The tricks come from moving from FC2 --> FC3 --> FC4.

As some will point out though, one of the main things behind test release is to catch bugs. So the Devel's would love for you to re-install to test the installer out.
