Re: upgrading redhat 8.0 to Fedora Core 1 difficulties

I believe redhat has never supported over the net upgrades like this. The installer does extra magic. Try installing from the CD/DVD using an upgrade install.

If you have a requirement that over the net upgrades between releases be supported, then look at one of the debian based distros. They've supported that stuff for over a decade now.

[By supported I mean it is one of the officially sanctioned ways of moving between releases]

Good luck,

Hi there,

I am having some difficulties upgrading redhat 8.0 to FC1. It appears some
libraries are not being located. one of hte libraries is libtk.so.0 but I
have tk loaded on the machine. Also I rebooted and it is still claiming to be
a redhat 8.0 machine (see below). Is there another step I need to do? Why
are these libraries not present?
