Possible - should be, it was possible to update to (null) from RH7.3 with apt. Did that on my laptop and well.. it was painfull to say the least (including a ecovery from totally corrupted rpmdb) Don't expect it to be an easy 'dist-upgrade' at any rate, so much stuff has changed and apt doesn't always handle all that well the way dependencies are set in RHL. > > Even if it's possible, are there good reasons why maybe I should not do > it and just use the RH iso's (I don't think RH8 will upgrade from > (null), maybe up2date will)? It's possible but not supported by RH. I've upgraded both my laptop and my home box from (null) to RH8.0 and didn't encounter any issues though. -- - Panu - _______________________________________________ RPM-List mailing list http://lists.freshrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
