Ok, so this has me confused. I'm attempting to use yum to upgrade my system (fc3). I found a set of instructions that just makes absolutely no sense to me. The first step is to remove any kernels less than a certain version. So I ran the command it said: yum -y remove kernel-2.6.9* (or whatever kernel i had installed) and yum went off, calculated it's dependancies, and determined that it needed to uninstall EVERYTHING to remove that package. I stopped it immediately. That seems like a BAD thing to do, no? So I tried skipping to the next step, downloading a fedora-release rpm. I did that, it seemed to work/install ok. Then i ran yum -y upgrade as the instructions said... it went off, did some header downloads, then crapped out on a kernel dependancy! *sigh* Is it really this difficult? Is it easier to just run the FC5 install from cd and be done with it? It can't REALLY be this hard to upgrade, can it???
