I think I've asked this before, but I can't remember so here I go again.
I'm downloading all the RPM's for RH9 so I can update all the packages on my RH7.2 system. My question, is this a bad idea? The only reason I'm doing this is to get the latest gcc files, and to get gcc++ and libstdc++ and libstdc++-devel I have to remove 82 packages (indcluding some Apache modules, most of KDE, and a few other miscellanous files).
I really only want ONE package (FreeCiv 1.14 (which requires glibc2, which when installed removed all the RH7.2 gcc files, which I figured might as well update anyways, which leads us to gcc++ 3.2.2-5 needing libstdc++ 3.2.2-5 which means 82 packages (including my web browser/mail client) gets removed, so if they get removed I figure I could update them, too)).
Why not just grab the ISOs and upgrade through the Red Hat installer? You can do a hard-disk install without even burning the ISOs to CDs. Doing it that way is Red Hat-tested.
Can I do a hard disk install without any fancy (fancy being anything that needs to run at boottime) commands? All I have to start a hdd install is the RH 7.2 ISO's burned to disk, will they suffice?
