Result : I shall not be updating to Fedora 15 any time soon
I provide this information reluctantly based on my previous experience posting to this community, which laughingly suggests it provides assistance, encouragement, and advice.
Well I've now tried to install Fedora 15 to a separate partition as follows:
1 Boot from a Fedora 14 installation disk
2 Change repositories config to point to Fedora 15
3 Run install
4 Anaconda fails after installing all RPMs
I've also configured the Fedora 14 so I can mount the Fedora 15 root LVM
Unfortunately I still seem to be getting an error as described earlier for Fedora 15 Live KDE CD
Does anyone know how to change Fedora 15 to force it to use the vesa graphics drivers? I suspect how it's done has changed for Fedora 15.
I can now mount the Fedora 15 root, home, and boot partitions from Fedora 14 boot. So any suggestions how I could make use of this would be appreciated.
To my mind, the most you can do with chroot'ing to the F15 mounted partition, with F14 being the booted OS (and with network fully operational) is that you should be able to run yum -y update. This will update your F15 environment, but will leave F14 alone. But before you run yum -y update, I THINK (but I am not sure) you will need to first kill the F14 updates daemon:
service yum-updatesd stop
Perhaps another person who has more knowledge about the yum-updatesd can shed more light here.
Thanks for that, but as you say you really need to know what you're doing. I'm certainly not comfortable trying that.
