Upgrade Fedora 9 – Fedora 10
Yes it seems they are rolling out more fedora releases nowadays, which Office is version 12 right now currently, so by year end I think they will be caught up with Microsoft Office version!
Anyhow, here’s your steps on upgrading using YUM on a Fedora box:
(Extra yum clean all’s can’t hurt nothing, always to be sure of everything being cleaned before always updating, I do it because I use cache and found that after one clean all they simply don’t wipe out sometimes on the first go around. Also note the # is just there pretending to be a command prompt any and all commands follow the #, just a note for the newbies)
- #yum clean all
- #yum clean all
- # yum update
- # yum clean all
- # yum clean all
- # yum update
- # yum clean all
- #yum clean all
- Good to be sure everything is cleaned!
- Pick a MIRROR that’s closest too you, I like liberty.edu because I’m pretty close there: Fedora List of Mirrors

For i386 Boxes: # rpm -Uhv http://mirror.liberty.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-10-1.noarch.rpm http://mirror.liberty.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-10.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
-
For x86_64 Boxes: # rpm -Uhv http://mirror.liberty.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/fedora-release-10-1.noarch.rpm http://mirror.liberty.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-10.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
- Good rule here to remember, as I don’t put the -y (yes switch, because I like to visually inspect everything before letting the upgrade go about.)
- After doing this, you may have to run: # yum clean all just in case to pick up everything for the changes to take effect prior to upgrading to the new Fedora 10 before running:
- # yum update
Once you get done downloading, updating all packages, reboot, watch your screen to ensure that the newest kernel is picked up and head onto and into Fedora 10. =)
If you have issues, feel free on posting here any questions, I myself can help you figure it out when I get time, or some other passerbyer maybe able to assist.
So WTF!
