Downtime Details

By Patrick on July 3, 2004 9:08 AM |

The server to hosts patandkat.com had to move from it's undisclosed location in San Francisco to an undisclosed location. Since the machine was going to be down and DNS would take a while to update, it was decided that an upgrade of the operating system would be performed. How does one upgrade from RedHat 7.3+errata to Fedora Core 2? Why it's quite easy.

  1. Back up /etc and /var to /home, since /home is on a different drive.
  2. Do a clean install of Fedora Core 2.
  3. Slowly copy stuff you need from /etc and /var.
  4. Fix broken stuff.

Simple as pie. The only catch is that last step...
