trouble with upgrading rh 6.1 to rh6.2

[William Hubbs]

Hi Jeff,

You are correct about the upgrade procedure not being able to handle an iso
image.  I mounted the image the way you described then copied everything to
another directory and tried the upgrade from there.

I am not even making it to the point in the setup program where it asks me
if I want to install or upgrade before it dies.

Hi:

OK, I'm not a redhatter so this is all just speculation on my part.

Firstly, I highly doubt that the setup program is able to cope with an ISO
image, nice though that would be.  You can get around this by mounting the
image like so:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/imagefile /mnt

This way, the file will now just look like a set of directories on your
system.

However, I am very surprised that there isn't an upgrade procedure that
doesn't involve reinstallation.  You might want to check (if you haven't
already) that this is indeed the way you should be upgrading.

Geoff.
