I'm trying to upgrade from Fedora core 1 to a newer version.
The instructions on this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_from_EOL_Fedora_using_yum
tell me to save myself a world of pain by upgrading using anaconda. However, I can't seem to find much information on the web about exactly what that means or how I would go about running this "anaconda" or using it to upgrade.
Can anyone give me instruction on how I would do this? Thanks
EDIT: I have manged to get something working by following the instructions here: levine.sscnet.ucla.edu/general/software/tc1000/hdredhat.html. I can boot into the "upgrade" option I made in grub but upgrading from hard disk doesn't work. I am now trying to upgrade via http/ftp, but during the kernel installation step this error always happens happens: http://postimg.org/image/mej4vwec3/
The upgrade log says this:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /boot/System.map-2.6.5-1.358;2ab9931a: cpio: write Any idea what's causing this error or how to fix it? I know that disk space is not the issue.
EDIT 2: The original question seemed to give off a misleading impression, so here's to clarify the actual background. This is part of an assignment for school, I cannot do a fresh install because simply put, I am not allowed to. However, I am allowed, and in fact somewhat encouraged, to upgrade as much as I can as long as a complete wipe and reinstall is not performed. I cannot use a conventional livecd because the machine in question is actually a virtual machine on vsphere and I cannot plug any physical media into it.
