To get from Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 3, I basically followed these instructions to set up yum for an upgrade. Somehow, though, “yum upgrade” always returned “No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion”. I ended up sticking with FC3 yum and “yum install …”‘ed my ass off. Also had to CPAN my butt off as well, for perl 5.8.5, and recompile apache. The only real trouble I had was something stomping on /etc/hosts and removing the entry for localhost – it was not fun figuring that out.

As a result of the upgrade, I’ve got an updated one-step apache 1.3.33 compile script to post.

Upwards and onwards!
