[ATrpms-users] FC3 to FC4 upgrade

[Phill Edwards]

I'm getting system lockups on my MythTV box all the time and I'm going
to upgrade from FC3 to FC4 to see if it makes a difference. I can't
find anything in log files that points to the problem and I've
installed a whopping 120mm system fan which keeps the system cooler
but I still get lockups.

I'm not going to do it by a fresh install as I don't want to risk
losing all my MythTV stuff that I've spent months getting working. I
want to do the upgrade by changing the sources.list.d files:

rpm http://dl.atrpms.net fc3-i386/redhat release
rpm http://dl.atrpms.net fc3-i386/redhat updates
               TO
rpm http://dl.atrpms.net fc4-i386/redhat release
rpm http://dl.atrpms.net fc4-i386/redhat updates

rpm http://dl.atrpms.net fc3-i386/atrpms stable
               TO
rpm http://dl.atrpms.net fc4-i386/atrpms stable


I was then going to run apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade.

Will this do it? I read somewhere that Jarod said you have to upgrade
apt to the FC4 version for this to work. Is that correct? Do I do this
before I run apt-get dist-upgrade or after? I don't really understand
this bit because how can you install the FC4 version of apt on a FC3
system?

Any guidance would be much appreciated.
