| <dd>If this is a fresh install choose "Install Fedora Core". If updating from a previous LON-CAPA installation on an earlier Fedora version (e.g., FC3 or FC4) you may prefer to choose the upgrade option, although if you established a separate partition for /home it will be faster to perform an install instead of an upgrade, and use "Create Custom Layout" to set up partitions - making sure to select the "unchanged data" option for the /home partition, in order to preserve your existing LON-CAPA data. A full back-up to tape or some external system is also strongly advised when updating the Fedora distribution in use on an existing LOn-CAPA server. |
