Help!<br>
<br>
Just ran the installation DVD but there is no option to &#39;upgrade&#39;. Looked at<br>
the RHEL docs,<br>
<a href="http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installati%0Aon_Guide/ch-guimode-x86.html#id4594292" target="_blank">http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installati<br>

on_Guide/ch-guimode-x86.html#id4594292</a> referenced off the CentOS Release<br>
notes but the CentOS installation doesn&#39;t offer the &#39;upgrade&#39;.<br>
<br>
I use to be able to upgrade by doing a &#39;yum update&#39;. That doesn&#39;t work<br>
either.<br>
<br>
Guess I&#39;m stuck with 5.6 as I an not about to install a new version and have<br>
to rebuild all non-rpm packages from scratch. This is worse than Microsoft!!<br></blockquote></div><br>Red Hat does not support upgrades between major versions (doesn&#39;t necessarily mean it&#39;s not possible)<br><a href="http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/ch-upgrade-x86.html">http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/ch-upgrade-x86.html</a><br>
