> 2. Install the Fedora 10 DVD on top of my existing installation.<br><div>
<br>
</div>Two choices for #2 - upgrade or new install, though I'll bet no one<br>
tested upgrading from fc6 to fc10. Might be safer (and more tedious) to<br>
do the upgrade sequentially (7,8,9,10). Once doing a fedora upgrade it<br>
didn't work for me and I had to do a fresh install - I don't recall the<br>
version numbers.</blockquote></div></div></blockquote><div><br>
I have now tried to put a new harddisk into the server and installing Fedora 10 on it. I have run into a couple of problems:<br>
<br>
- The server is also webserver, so I need a fixed IP-address. Even
though I specified during installation that it was going to be a
webserver, it was initially installed with DHCP. I then switched to
fixed address, but it does not save the DNS-addresses that I enter, so
when I run it with fixed IP-address, it can not resolve any host names.
I have tried to use DHCP and let the DHCP-server in my router give it a
fixed address together with the DNS-addresses but for some unknown
reason, it still gets an ordinary DHCP-address and not the fixed one.
Maybe I just have to wait a couple of days until the old lease runs
out... But still: Is it really impossible to set up both an IP-address
and DNS-addresses on Fedora 10 without using DHCP?<br>
<br>
- I had only one harddisk in the server when I installed Fedora 10.
Then I added my two other harddisks and added the usual entries to
/dev/fstab:<br>
/dev/hdb1 /home2 ext3 defaults 1 2<br>
/dev/hdc1 /home3 ext3 defaults 1 2<br>
Then I rebooted and the system complained about the superblocks on
these two harddisks. I think it stated that they were not ext2 even
though I have specified the systems to be ext3. In top of that it would
not allow me to boot properly on the newly installed harddisk. I could
only get some prompt where the primary harddisk was in read-only mode.
So I can not revert my changes to the fstab.<br>
<br>
So I have now put my old Fedora 6 system disk back and it does not
complain about the two other disks. Has something significant changed
in the ext3 format between Fedora 6 and Fedora 10?<br>
<br>
