Question about upgrading to 17 from 13.

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I installed fedora 13 from disc on a laptop. That laptop originally ran windows. I created reinstall discs for windows before I installed fedora 13. The Fedora Project website says it is best to incrementally upgrade to 17 for the best stability. I interpret that to me mean install 14, then 15, then, 16 before 17. I want the best stability. If this is really the best way, I'll do it. It'll give me the practice to say the least. If going from 13, directly to 17 is not recommended, how about reinstalling windows first, then installing 17 from there? That way there is no older version of fedo (HowTos)

Hello everyone,

On my laptop there's Fedora and Windows XP. After too many problems with XP I've formatted the windows partition and reinstalled XP. Since that, I can't boot anymore on Fedora. This is a computer I'm using at work and I'm not the person who installed Fedora; I've just found 4 CD containing the program. With this, is it possible for me to recreate the boot?

Triple Booting 3 years 17 weeks ago

Allright guys, I am a linux noobie, I have messed with it some (backtrack) but I don't know a whole lot. I am going to networking security, and I am in a linux class now. We are using fedora. On my laptop, I want to triple boot. Right now I have just 1 partition, with windows 7 ultimate x64 installed.

I am wanting to triple boot windows 7, windows xp x64, and fedora 12 x64.

Hi guys, so I decided to give Fedora 16 a go from a disc that came with my Linux User magazine and tried to install it, never had any problems in the past but this time had major issues and not sure what to do. I shall try to keep this explanation to a minimum.

I've got a fairly up to date HP Pavilion DM4 laptop with Windows 7 Premium installed.

Booting from Fedora 18 Live CD 14 weeks 3 days ago

Hi guys/gals,

I have installed ubuntu before on my laptop (hp envy m6) before no problem. I currently have a CLEAN (i think) install of windows 8 (meh) on it. I am trying to now keep my Windows 8 install on the internal drive, and USB boot off of a 500GB toshiba external USB drive. I have the Fedora 18 disk in the DVD drive.

Dear Friends,

My notebook and desktop run perfectly on dual systems: Win7 and fedora 17. As I follow the installation procedure suggested by the redhat / earlier fedora system, both my machines have the separated and cleared partitions; for windows, boot, swap and boot partition.

Now that Fedora 18, aka Spherical Cow, has been released, users of Fedora 17 will likely be gearing up to upgrade. Before this latest release, upgrading an installation of Fedora requires a procedure that’s not very elegant. With Fedora 18, the recommended upgrade tool is called FedUp (FEDora UPgrade).

hello all. I been in the linux world about a whole week now. I have dual booted my laptop with xp and unbuntu 9.04. Everything is great but I would like to delete ubuntu and give fedora a try. I wish to keep windows xp for now. If I use windows to delete ubuntu partions, soon as I reboot grub will be gone and I will not be able to get to xp.
