I'm upgrading from rh8 to fc2 and the install warns me that there are
3rd-party packages installed which overlap with packages included in
fc2. If I wish to continue this may cause the packages to not work
properly or other system stability issues. It tells me to see the
Release Notes for more information, but I read the release notes and
there is not mention of this circumstance. I wish it would tell me more
about *which* packages are concerned.
Unable to find any relevant info on google, I'm thinking it might just
solve itself if I upgrade to RedHat 9, then FC2.
I don't want to do a fresh install, because I'm not at all versed in
restoring all my personal data and preferences, and don't want to hassle
with it. I do have a backup of my data in case there are problems.
Does anyone know how I would find out which 3rd-party packages FC2 is
concerned with -- so that I might then uninstall them before the upgrade?
