I’m upgrading my wife’s laptop from Fedora 14 to Fedora 20. \u00a0That’s plenty of fun! \u00a0I’ve done this before with other machines, but memory isn’t my strongest suit. \u00a0First, preupgrade<\/em><\/strong> fails complaining that there are no repositories anymore. \u00a0That’s to be expected, with even Fedora 18 being passed end of life. \u00a0The replacement for preupgrade<\/em> – fedup<\/em><\/strong> – isn’t yet available for the releases that old. \u00a0Digging around I found a DVD with Fedora 19, which would work just fine, if only upgrade option hasn’t been removed from the recent Fedora releases.<\/p>\n

So the only option that I see, except for a complete fresh install, is to follow the yum upgrade<\/a> path. \u00a0Which is a bumpy ride, but it did get me to the destination before. \u00a0So here we go …<\/p>\n

\r\n$ yum clean all\r\n$ rpm -Uvh http:\/\/...\/releases\/16\/...\/fedora-release*rpm\r\n$ yum upgrade\r\n$ yum update\r\n$ reboot\r\n<\/pre>\n
That’ll get me to Fedora 16. Try the preupgrade\/fedup option to go to Fedora 18. If not there, repeat the above. Then go to Fedora 20. Jumping more than 2 releases at a time is not recommended.<\/p>\n
Good luck!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
