Probably best a question for Jarod and/or Axel, but I'd welcome input
from anyone....
I have an ancient box with:
- FC3
- MythTV 0.18.1 (using the PVR-350 accelerated out, setup with Jarod's
guide from FC3)
- Some old version of wine
- Some old version of OpenOffice.
- Several other miscellaneous things.
- A few videos I don't want to lose.
- A lot of www bookmarks, documents and other stuff I don't want to lose.
Almost everything was installed using apt-get.
I seem to recall when FC6 came out, Jarod or someone posted a howto to
upgrade a system "in-place" using yum or apt-get or some such. I'm
having zero luck searching for it.
So:
1) Is trying to upgrade FC3->FC7 (out today), Myth 0.18.1->current
ATRPMS and whatever gets dragged along a good idea or a bad one? and
2) Does anyone know of a step by step howto somewhere?
Thanks a ton in advance!!
