Another Fedora 9/yum problem
I seem to be stuck half way between Fedora 8 and Fedora 9. I don't know how to go forwards or backwards. Currently the error I am getting is:

? what repo's do you have enabled ( lvina, or freshrpms or none). also a fresh install is the best way to upgrade .
also what is your hardware and can it run fedora 9 , not all systems can. |
# yum repolist
repo id repo name status adobe-linux-i386 Adobe Systems Incorporated enabled fedora Fedora 9 - i386 enabled updates Fedora 9 - i386 - Updates enabled The computer is a Dell GX150 PIII 1Ghz. It is rather old, but I assumed it would be ok. It is headless, and I don't do any multimedia with it, mostly LAMP type stuff. I upgraded Fedora 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 8 using yum with no problem. This is the first real problem I have had. I feel silly for asking, but is it possible to do a fresh install in place, without moving all my personal files off and putting them back later? |
it looks like your machine is to old for the new xorg in fedora 9
if you are installing in text mode and are going to run a headless server , maybe a fresh install might work but no GUI . Quote:
/dev/sdb3 is a 130 gig partition for my data and /dev/sdb6 is / where fedora is installed -- 30 gig |
Wow, so I have a system that works, I just can't add, remove, or update any packages on it. I can fix it by reinstall, but then I lose all my personal files (or have to back them up in order to not lose them). It looks like Linux has a long way to go before it is usable by the common man.

having back up dvd's or on an external drive will save the day if win. gets a nasty virus then reinstall and but the data bask from dvd's if Linux gets rootkited same thing . |
