Is it possible to upgrade from Fedora2 to CentOS 3.3 remotely? I have searched this forum and the only how to I have found is Redhat9 to CentOS. DirectAdmin is also installed as I really dont think it will be affected but want to hear if there will be from you guys. Know of a good how to anywhere?, Or will it be the same as going up from RH9?
Thank in advance

I've never seen this done, I'm sure it's possible but it would be a really big pain in the butt.

FC2 is newer that CentOS 3.3, it would technically be a 'downgrade' with your packages.

Well there is no easy way to do this. Ive done it by replacing the rpm database with that of a redhat 9 server, even after that it took some tinkering. MAKE SURE YOU GET A CENTOS KERNEL ON THERE, or it will try to boot the 2.6 kernels from fedora and the box will panic since it will not be able to load the modules (modutils get replaced with centos). Everything is newer on the fedora core 2 so you have to jimmy it to work.

Just out of curiousity, why is it that you want to move from FC2 to CentOS?

I am one to jump on a bandwagon ;) And to give people like you a reason to ask why I wanted to do it in the first place.
Steve, thanks for the answer I was looking for in the first place, I may just stay with FC2 for now and move to RHE or CentOS through a restore in the future.
