Better way to upgrade fc8->fc19 - users - Fedora mailing-lists

22 Nov 2013


      I have has miserable luck with fedup, is there a better way, anything? I really 
don't want to leave this machine down for days, and the 18->19 on a test machine 
took about 36 hours to complete, and another 3-4 to redo all the scripts from 
the ones on other machines which all use ethN to meaningless interface names. In 
18 I just changed a single script to use (or not use) biosnames, and all was 
well, but on my test conversion to 19 that doesn't work, or the file was 
rewritten, and I finally used the name which changes every time the machine gets 
shuffled a bit.
Is there a better way?
