Greetings,
I'm going through the recent release cycles of both Fedora and CentOS in upgrading machines.
I've had to do a fresh install on a machine where the available /boot partition size of 200MB was not adequate. Consequently, I created a /boot partition of 1GB and did a fresh install. (This was for moving from F15->F16; I then successfully upgraded to F17.)
The issue for me was matching the installation to what I had previously. My approach was to store a list of rpms (rpm -qa > F15RpmList.txt) and then sdiff -s to a list of F16 Rpms.
Is there a more efficient procedure than this?
Use yum, but read the instructions on upgrading using yum *carefully* first.
