To upgrade to Fedora Core 7 from Fedora core 5:

  • I updated Fedora core 5 first, although I don't know that this is necessary

Then install the release info using the following long command. Note that this downloads two rpm files via http. 

rpm -Uhv http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-notes-7.0.0-1.noarch.rpm \
 http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-7-3.noarch.rpm
yum update

General Notes:

  • The subverisons of the release notes and release will likely change in the future. If this command does not work as is, look on the server to find updated versions.

Notes specific to this site:

  • Change ldap.conf to add the line: tls_checkpeer no ; otherwise sudo breaks
  • Need to install nfs-utils, rpc-bind

Acknowledgements:

Of course, I didn't figure the rpm part all out myself. There are lots of hints available if you google "upgrade fedora 5 to 6". I simply adapted it to FC7, and by the time you read this there will undoubtedly find directions to go directly to FC7
