Answer:

Fedora 15  will be out in few  days , to upgrade from Fedora 13 or 14 to Fedora 15. Please follow  the  steps  as described bellow:

Under root:

1-First, update your current system

yum update -y

2-Install preupgrade package

yum install preupgrade

3-Run the preupgrade tool,

preupgrade

or

preupgrade-cli

This  will  show  you  the new  release . Now click next to go start  upgrade.  This  step   will  take  some time  to  download  all  packages  of  F15.

After  this,  the  system will  reboot  and  will  complete  the  upgrade  and  clean the old  installations .

Now  login and checkif everything went ok.

      you have to upgrade first from 13 –>14
      then from 14—>15

      If you are behind a proxy, then you need to:
      export http_proxy=http://{proxy-server}:{port}
      export ttp_proxy=http://{proxy-server}:{port}
      export https_proxy=http://{proxy-server}:{port}

      Then run preupgrade/preupgrade-cli.

  • Manish Kumar

    how can i upgrade from FC12 to FC14/FC15. Can we follow the similar steps as mentioned above.Please help.

    • Stig

      You cannot upgrade directly from FC12 to FC15. You can jump max 2 versions at any one upgrade.
      Start by upgrading to FC14 – then upgrade to FC15.
      Apart from that, I guess you can follow the above advices.

  • Inda

    Thank you :-)))

it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,

it is using strong encryption.

but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI

And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.

You can friend someone if you give him your public Certificate.

both peers must friend each other.

i suggest to not enter a valid e-mail address. it is not necessary, but pgp needs a mail addy. something@something.so fits perfectly… :)

http://redd.it/18vsq5 <– faq, featurelist, todo, howto, useful links to manual wiki etc, …

you can connect to chatservers, which will give you access to chatlobby, where always some people are lurking.

#1 https://www.f2f-fr.net/w2c/en/
#2 http://retrosharechatserver.no-ip.org/w2c/en/

and in this rooms, you can find other people to talk and friend.

please have a look at this link. it is a FAQ, QuickTip, HowTo, etc etc etc …

If you want to make friends, please use the Chatservers.
#1 https://www.f2f-fr.net/w2c/en/
#2 http://retrosharechatserver.no-ip.org/w2c/en/

if you enter your certificate, the chatserver adds you as his friend and shows his certificate too add him to your friends.

After the connection to the chatservers is established, you can join a few chatrooms where the chatserver is lurking.

in this rooms are other people too help you and make first friends and get into the network.

add friends only with wisdom. if you friend some policeman, it will be problematic like in real life.

best is to add only people you trust in real life or trust from other communitys too. and not to add random unkown strangers.

If you have questions, ask them in the chatlobbys, there is always someone to answer them.

please read http://redd.it/18vsq5

or question me here :)
