I upgraded my netbook from Fedora 13 to 14 using preupgrade.
The update was not smooth and I am still working through
problems (started Christmas week).
I have the following problems and am working through them.
1) No check up front on disk space, update started then after
a few minutes mentioned insufficient space in /boot
(yes, I had only 100M). The preupgrade did continue
after I checked the dialog box.
2) preupgrade checked for packages then started the upgrade.
About 1/2 way through, it complained about a file it could not
upgrade and aborted (moodle). I booted into the old kernel,
removed the package and restarted the upgrade.
3) After upgrade, the new kernel has an OOPS on boot so I
am still using the old kernel.
4) Lots of old packages were left on the system. I am trying to
remove them but this is taking a while.... I am using
package-cleanup --orphans >ofile then editing ofile and
feeding it to rpm -e $(cat ofile)
The only problem I currently need help with is fixing the
kernel boot problem.... The rest I have worked through.
A fresh install would have been FAR easier.
Cheers,
