Re: [Fedora-sparc] Can fedora sparc be upgraded from 12 to 15 using preupgrade?

[Cicone, Anthony]

Thanks Dennis, yum doesn't work either, guess I'll have to wait.  I would keep
using 12, but the pointer disappears and I get a bunch of lines on the screen when doing
anything remote over X.  I don't have the same problem if I enable HWCursor, but I get
a big white block instead of a cursor for the pointer.

No it cant, for one we do not have f15 install trees that work correctly yet, for
2 anaconda doesnt support upgrading more than 2 releases. you will need to either use yum.
or wait until we get a working install tree and install from scratch
