Upgrading to latest Fedora remotely?

cosmicperl · 12-12-2006, 07:04 AM

Hi All,
I have a machine in another country that I dont have physical access to, only remote. It's running a web server with DNS, and a few domains, etc, and Fedora core 3. I really want to uprgrade it to fedora core 5 or 6. Is there a way I can do this remotely with minimal downtime???

Please help

yeah sure. install the relevant fedora-release rpm and just run "yum upgrade" and it will attempt to sort out the rest. having said that, jumping from c3 to fc6 is a bit far really... i would trust it to go from fc5 to fc6, but not from fc3.
