Read each screen carefully. Be warned. If for any reason, on the
reboot to install packages, preupgrade cannot "find" your current
installation, it *will* reformat your partitions if you are not careful.

Hi Marvin
I am using FC12, i wold preupgrade to F13 this week-end, but I am very worrid
to something i read on this list about anacond.
I read that, more or less, if anaconda does not find enough space on /booot. it
try to enlarge it.
How can do that? shrinking / logvol?
This is my df at the moment:
f12 15:43:53 root@matanui: /boot # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/dm-0 95G 40G 51G 45% /
tmpfs 1003M 760K 1002M 1% /dev/shm
/dev/dm-1 48G 35G 11G 76% /home
/dev/sda1 190M 48M 133M 27% /boot
Hopefully 133 Mega out of 198 could be enough? somewhere i can find an answer
on this issue, on the howto that you have read, maybe?
Other than this, I hope that preupgrade will go without any pain.
This was a Fedora 8, preupgraded to 9,10,11 and lastly 12.
TIA

Hello!
Just thought I'd present this problem for comment/help/hints:
* want to upgrade from Fedora Core 11 to 13
* I have a 64-bit system with Vista as a host o/s, running VMWare, and
FC11 as a client o/s
* cloned my FC11 as a backup
* ran preupgrade, got expected problem with 200MB /boot, but preupgrade
said that it could continue downloading (presumably to the larger
partition) so I did
* preupgrade told me to reboot, so I did
* began upgrade process; ran Test. First oddity: Test said it was
testing media for FC10 , but test passed.
* Problem#1: after test finished, upgrade wanted me to install a disk.
There is no such disk -- preupgrade put the upgrade information mostly
into /boot, I presume.
* had to shutdown the upgrade process
* rebooted (I figured I'd try skipping the test this time)
* Problem#2: not running upgrade, instead just does a normal boot into FC11
In inspecting /boot, I see a fair amount of upgrade info there. The
help for this indicates that I should be using grub to select the
upgrade; there is no grub since FC is running as a virtual machine client.
At this point I'm considering downloading FC13, writing DVDs, and doing
a new virtual client. I was hoping to avoid all that, especially as my
FC11 has never recognized the DVD writer drive, so I'll end up having to
do it from another machine.
Regards,
Chip Campbell

First, this is the CentOS list - you might want to post to the redhat
mailing list, or the fedora-specific list.
That being said, I've had to upgrade three or so machines fro FC10 to 13,
and I now *LOATHE* Fedora. It broke the video on at least one machine
(older Nvidia card), and I could *not* get gnome to work - all I got was a
splash screen, and a line, about a pixel or 10 wide, about three inches
high, and *nothing* I did would make it work. I finally had to uninstall
gnome, and install kde, and got that working... and I'm still *very*
unhappy that it never leaves the login box empty, it keeps the last person
logged in visible.
And it's crashed several times - as in frozen, and I had to power cycle
it. The machine I've worked on most never had trouble before that, and
it's *really* aggravating, since I do offline backups on it, which can
take hours, and it hangs in the middle.
And I've had to fsck the thing several times....
