Upgrade Centos 6 to Centos 7 (32 Bits)

[Ger van Dijck]

Hi all ,


Is there a way to upgrade Centos 6 to Centos 7 (32 Bits) in the same way  
as I can upgrade Fedora 26 to Fedora 27 with the utility "dnf  
system-upgrade" ?


Regards,


Ger van Dijck.

A quick Google search seems to indicate that upgrade from 6 to 7 is problematic at
best and disastrous at worse.

Google search term was "centos upgrade 6 to 7".

But you may find more help by going to https://www.centos.org/forums/  or

Last week there was a post published about this

https://seven.centos.org/2017/11/centos-linux-6-to-centos-linux-7-upgrade...

"and in its current state it no longer works."

Looks like it is not a possibility at the moment.

Found this, which seems to indicate, yes it can be done.

Except that article is from 2014 and the subsequent articles which say the tools
mentioned in the article are broken come after that.

So, I wouldn't put my faith in old information.

A bigger issue may be that the OP wants to do a 32-bit upgrade. From what I understand,
the 32-bit is not supported by CentOS, but is at:
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/ 

I doubt that a direct upgrade is possible or useful, given that the EPEL stuff may not
even be there for this version of CentOS.
