Challenging problem
| Posted by lamp, 11-16-2007, 09:56 AM | | Hello,
I have a fedora core 2 box running cpanel 11 at a remote site. Realizing that core 2 is extremely old, I'd like to upgrade it to fedora 7 or at least 5 using YUM.
Has anyone done this before (with success) or would you completely advise against the upgrade?
I was thinking of proceeding in the following way:
FC2 => FC3
FC3 => FC4
FC4 => FC5
etc..
Rather than plain FC2 => FC7, although it would be nice.
What are you thoughts on this?
Thanks.

It should take you a few hours(2-4), depending on how fast your host will to the reinstall and how many accounts you have to restore.
