Given that the upstream sources from which CentOS 5 was originally built are Fedora Core 6 vintage, it would be like trying to go from Fedora 6 to Fedora 12+ in one fell swoop. I don't even upgrade from one Fedora to the next (or one Debian or Ubuntu, either, as I've seen that break badly before). I keep my data on a separate partition (or multiple separate partitions in the case of servers) and do fresh reinstalls, mounting my data back in the right place once done. On my laptop, I'm still running the same /home that I ran in RedHatLinux 7 beta days.... _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
