Hello, i have Feudora Core 1 installed in my Laptop, working good, but now there is a Core 2, do i have to install all again (Download Core 2 and Install) ? or there is some kind of procedure in order to upgrade?

Thanks, Regards
Tito

U do realise that this is only a test release and is possibly not stable?

Yes i know that thanks for the alert, but at least for me on an Asus a200h is working Good, relative to the question? what can i do?

Thanks

I would imagine that to get the entire FC2 Test you would need to download the ISO's and do an upgrade (or Full install, which I personally feel is a much cleaner way of doing it)...

So, do i have to download the ISOs for F2 and make a fresh install will be better, but it wasn't logic that the updates become part of Up2date?

I'm not sure if Fedora is part of Up2date (don't use it) but I guess u could always try - couldn't hurt huh

Fedora does do Up2Date, but it doesnt update the entire distro... I'd wait till Core2 becomes a final stable release before you install it.

You can upgrade from Core 1 to Core 2 test 1 but I strongly don't recomend it. After the update I couldn't get my up2date to work, I can't set the time with the time applet, the 2.6.x kernel wouldn't boot with out a lot of problems... The list just goes on and on. Just stick with Core 1.

Fedora is too buggy.I hate it.

Wow. How descriptive and wrong! Fedora Core 1 is not buggy at all, I have had very little problems with it, and none were due to bugs. It is a fine n00biezed OS and is very simple to set up and use. Fedora Core 2 is supposedly buggy, know why? No stable version has been released. If you are using FC2 then you can't complain about bugs, if you are using FC1, I don't know where you get the bugs from, cuz I have seen none.

Buggy.. As oppossed to what?

Windows? Anonther Version of Linux?

FC1 is great, best O/S for price/useablility around.

I made the move to Fedora Core 1 a while ago and have found it alot smoother than my old RH9 system

Pauli · 03-28-2004, 01:32 PM

Well, not quite coffee

Slackware is the best, Fedora is just easy

I like both, Fedora for when I do not want to tweak my system, and slack when I want to make my system fast
