\n\tThe upgrade here really hasn't changed from the previous ones all that much and the Fedora Core 4<\/strong> to Fedora Core 5<\/strong> upgrade is nearly identical to the first upgrade outlined in: RedHat Fedora: Fedora Core 1 to Fedora Core 2 Upgrade<\/a> .  If you have not already upgraded to FC4<\/strong> please visit RedHat Fedora: Fedora Core 3 to Fedora Core 4 upgrade.<\/a> page first before going up to FC5<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tYou will only need to replace step #8<\/strong> with the below step: 8 ) <\/strong>Install fedora-relese either using http:\/\/download.fedora.redhat.com\/pub\/fedora\/linux\/core\/4\/i386\/os\/Fedora\/RPMS\/fedora-release-4-2.noarch.rpm<\/a> or use another mirror from the fedora.redhat.com<\/a> site.  You can also use the mirrors from fedoralegacy.org<\/a> if your distribution is too old.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe are also going to save the output of the upgrade process into a log file in case we need to analyze for more details.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTHE UPGRADE PROCESS <\/strong> <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1)<\/strong><\/span><\/span> Remove any old kernels. Myself I had about 7 kernels from prior installations so I removed all but 2 of them. This will help you avoid any dependency problems or package errors you might have otherwise receive. Use either yum<\/strong> or rpm<\/strong> to do this with:\n<\/p>\n

\n\t$ yum remove kernel-<YOUR KERNEL DETAILS> <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOR\n<\/p>\n

\n\t$ rpm -e kernel-<YOUR KERNEL DETAILS><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2)<\/strong><\/span><\/span> Run yum clean all<\/strong> before starting the upgrade.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t3)<\/strong><\/span><\/span> Update\/install the fedora-release for Fedora Core 5<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t$ rpm -Uhv http:\/\/download.fedora.redhat.com\/pub\/fedora\/linux\/core\/5\/i386\/os\/Fedora\/RPMS\/fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn case you can't find the 'fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm<\/strong>' off Fedora site, post a comment and I'll link mine here or see the above initial note on FC1<\/strong> to FC2<\/strong> upgrade above with regards to legacy kernel upgrades which may no longer be supported.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t4)<\/strong> Run the actual upgrade:\n<\/p>\n

\n\t$ nice -n 19 yum -y update 2>&1|tee .\/upgrade-fc4-to-fc5.log<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t5)<\/strong> Watch out for messages and dependency problems. In my case I had installed a bunch of third party applications, some not from RPM. This broke the upgrade. To avoid problems and a long winded installation\/upgrade, I simply uninstalled the packages. For libraries the upgrade complained about, I used –-whatprovides<\/strong> switch:\n<\/p>\n

\n\trpm -q –whatprovides<\/strong>
\n\trpm -qa xffm<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tand the name of the module that 'yum' complained about.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t6)<\/strong> Prior to upgrading, I had customized my video card to use fglrx<\/strong> which I wanted back ASA my upgrade completed. This produced amazing results for my video performance to something like (literally) 10x the acceleration I had. Unfortunately, the version for FC5<\/strong> was, apparently, no longer available. So on I went to upgrade to <\/a>FC6<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
