how I upgraded from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15
#1

backup your data first then... login as root and do a yum -y update, that tells fedora to update itself

 

Quote:[anyweb@localhost ~]$ su -Password:

[root@localhost ~]# yum -y update
 

then get a few necessary F15 rpm's from the nearest mirror (i chose a swedish mirror as i live in sweden)

 



Code:
wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-15-1.noarch.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-15.0.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-rawhide-15-1.noarch.rpm




 

and then install them

 



Code:
rpm -Uvh fedora-release-notes-15.0.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm fedora-release-15-1.noarch.rpm fedora-release-rawhide-15-1.noarch.rpm




 

then clean the yum data

 



Code:
yum clean all




 

and update

 



Code:
yum update




 

 

if you get any conflicts reported, then remove the package like so

 



Code:
yum remove gnome-applet-vm




 

the install will take some time, take a break,

once done, check the version

 

Quote:[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-releaseFedora release 15 (Lovelock)
 

and then reboot

 



Code:
reboot

How you finding F15 after using it for a couple of months now? You get used to gnome3 yet?

yes i'm used to it and like it actually, took some time to get used to

it is slower than gnome 2 however but aside from that, after i added my 'fixes' it's great

 

and suspend finally works 100% now also, so upgrading to f15 was a good move

I checked out unity on a virtualbox and I still prefer good old gnome to gnome3 and unity.
