    I'm a linux n00b. I LOVE using yum to update/install all my packages. Does anyone know how to upgrade to Fedora Core 4? I'd like to play around with and not have to burn 3 CDs and reinstall.

    1. Re:-1 offtopic but does someone know? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

      You can do a 'apt-get update' and then an 'apt-get update' to bring you up to the latest packages and stuff... Kernel is easier: 'yum install kernel'

      But i'd do that one first, and then the other updates... beacuse if you don't, you'll have all the older kernel modules and stuff...

      Plus, its not a requirement you update to the test versions. There just for that--testing. i want to see if they fixed my C600 and its problems with the installer... But i digress.
