Talk is cheap, show me the code
Finally I made the decision to upgrade my current FC4. Quite adventurous but I’ll kepp it short: I made it using NFS ‘way’. I made a new boot entry, using vmlinuz and initrd image copied from a FC6 ISO. Booted my machine, and pick the install from NFS. Setup my IP and the NFS share, then went through usual update stages.
My KDe was borked. But solved by installing gcc-3.4 compat packages. FC6 comes with gcc 4.1 libs stock, I read it on mjmwired. There’s still 600 packages not upgraded, obvisouly will be my homework. Some apps were removed during apt-get install –fix-broken. Will catch up later, using trial and error method (read: do daily activity and install as necessary)
Yup, that’s it. No fancy tricks.
