I did an upgrade from 7.0 to 7.2 and had several little glitches that I've yet to iron out. Plus: 1) Neither cdrom worked. The upgrade apparently kept the heart of /etc/fstab, but added in a few other items. It kept my old cdrom mount settings, which weren't compatable with 7.2. cdrom1 is now hdc, cdrom2 is not sr0. Once I made the changes it's now working. 2) MAKEDEV didn't work. I refreshened the package, which fixed the problem. 3) Sendmail kept bouncing all incoming mail. I uninstalled the package and tried to reinstall it, but it wouldn't, saying I was missing a dependency, I believe it was libcrypt.so.o or something like that. I don't have that library on any other of my systems so couldn't find what package it was in, so I installed the 7.0 Sendmail rpm which had been on the system. It's now working. 4) Named wouldn't start - said it started, but didn't. I uninstalled the rpm, couldn't reinstall it because of dependency problems (same as Sendmail), so I donwnloaded and installed the 7.0 named rpm. Now it's working also. 5) There's a problem with TTF. X kept quitting immediately after trying to start, kicking out an error that the font path couldn't be set, something about "fixed, no such file or directory" (not a direct quote). I commented out the TTF font path in /etc/X11/XF86Conf. The Xserver will now start, but I don't have TTF. 6) I had modified one of the ports to allow ftp access for a friend of mine who attends a college that has blocked port 21 so the students can't ftp off campus. That is no longer working. Haven't had time to check into it. In spite of the above, I was thrilled with the upgrade. My irc servers, bots, chatrooms, and MyPHPNuke boards worked immediately. The upgrade/install took less than 2 hours, took the first time, and on reboot worked right away.
