Option only allow up to 2 versions from the current version, So it you want to go more than 2, would need to do it in 2 version steps. Then make sure to check for full updates before next step. After the download, it has one do an command to reboot, and install the updates. Generally, do a bare metal backup before trying it, just in case something goes wrong. At my college, would generally do an update on one machine and do a clean install on another. Compare list of rpms since clean install would add rpms that an upgrade didn't, and then see packages not included in clean install. Recently upgraded 3 of my 8 systems from 43 to 44, but not this one yet. > > -- > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] > Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
