Upgrade Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 Fedora 9 and finally to Fedora 10

Ok I am very late to upgrade from Fedora 7, but I found a mirror for Fedora 8 packages.

Fedora 7 to Fedora 8
# yum clean all

Get release files for fedora 8
# wget ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/archives.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-8.0.0-3.noarch.rpm
# wget ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/archives.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-8-3.noarch.rpm

Install release files
# rpm -Uvh fedora*


Create test.repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/test.repo
Add the lines below:
[alterede]
name=alterercore
baseurl=ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/archives.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0


Now start upgrade process
# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=alterede upgrade



Fedora 8 to Fedora 9
# yum clean all

edit /etc/yum.repos.d/test.repo
change
baseurl=ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/

# wget ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-9-2.noarch.rpm
# wget ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-9.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh fedora-release-*
# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=alterede upgrade





Fedora 9 to Fedora 10

edit /etc/yum.repos.d/test.repo change line below
baseurl=ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/

# yum clean all
# wget ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-10-1.noarch.rpm #
# wget ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-10.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh fedora-release-*



# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=alterede upgrade
