5. Upgrade to CentOS 5 (more or less Fedora Core 6), as has been<br> discussed several times here. Enjoy support through 2014.<br></blockquote></div><br></div>It would be more like a fresh install on CentOS 5. As far as I know, there's no "upgrade" path from Fedora to CentOS. I would also recommend this route. Just do a mysqldump of your database from your FC 4 install and import that into your MySQL install once you have CentOS up and running. I did a very similar thing recently... I had been running 0.20.1 on FC4 w/a custom script to download the data from Schedules Direct and modify the data so it looked like what came from Zap2It. I got a new TV and no longer needed to use the TV out of my PVR350 so I did a fresh install on "new" hardware that could support HD (still no working HD tuner) using CentOS 5.1. If you enable the atrpms testing repo, you can pretty much follow Jared's Fedora guide step-by-step.</blockquote>
<div><br>+1<br><br>I did this about 1 month ago (from FC6 to Centos 5.1) and it's been great. I followed Jarod's guide, enabled atrpms and atrpms-testing and everything went well. Before performing the OS re-install, I used "dump" to dump my / and other important partitions to my /data RAID partition which was not touched during installation. This allowed me to restore various files as needed. I also use MySQL-ZRM (see <a href="http://www.zmanda.com/backup-mysql.html">http://www.zmanda.com/backup-mysql.html</a>) to do nightly automated backups of mythconverg.<br>
