Good idea. I've always wondered exactly what LiveCD's were.<br>Nick<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 11:20 AM, Callum Lerwick <<a href="mailto:seg@haxxed.com">seg@haxxed.com</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>Fedora has LiveCDs these days: (Scroll down below "install media")<br>

Which gives you a nice non-destructive way to see if a newer Fedora<br>
will run better.<br>
<br>
You can also do a clean install (Back up your data!) directly from the<br>
LiveCD environment. You can also use the disk to start a network<br>
upgrade of an existing system, but that's only supported going from<br>
the previous Fedora release to the one on the disk. Upgrading FC5 all<br>
the way to F9 is not officially supported and I wouldn't recommend<br>
doing it.<br>
