RHEL is basically a 7.x release (.1 or .2 I think - can never remember off the top of my head). You can not simply pop in a RHEL distribution CD and tell it to upgrade from RHL 8 - you'll need to do a fresh install. > I hope to keep existing software installed and running.

If the apps are on a separate partition, you might be able to take some shortcuts, but it's also possible that they'll need to be rebuilt against your new (older) libraries. > Any tips, tricks, gotchas would be appreciated. It's not going to be much fun to do fresh installs on all your systems. I've got 9 to do this year myself... -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
