Does this mean that you = successfully upgraded Red Hat 9 to Fedora using yum? -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca = [mailto:speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Dawes, Stephen Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 10:28 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: RE: Fedora, Good Newby howtos, mailing lists and downloads Janina, As a suggestion, you may want to add a section on yum into your how-to.=20 If you don't know yum, it is an easy-to-use command-line-based application that does an excellent job of managing your rpms. Yum is also very useful for doing such system activities as:=20 Installing applications. Removing applications. Keeping your system up-to-date. Doing system upgrades. The overall advantage to yum is that it takes away all the guess work when it comes to dependencies. I have found a partial yum how-to at: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO.html=20 that you maybe able to use / modify for the speakup community. The yum info page can be found at: https://lists.linux.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum Otherwise, the How-to that I read on RH9 was easy to follow. Just my thoughts for the future. OH YEAH! I did an "yum upgrade" to fedora to see if it can be done, and it worked like a charm. Once all was done, I re-started my computer and was running fedora. Ain't life good!
