BTW I tested live upgrade from FC17 to FC18.
It works smoothly if you don't have third party packages.
in FC there's no need for a special boot, everything is hanled by filesystem
package's pre/post scripts:
$ rpm -q --scripts filesystem -v
pretrans scriptlet (using <lua>):
--#
--# If we are running in pretrans in a fresh root, there is no /usr
and symlinks.
--# We cannot be sure, to be the very first rpm in the transaction list,
--# so, let's create the toplevel symlinks here and the directories
they point to.
--# When our rpm is unpacked by cpio, it will set all permissions and
modes later.
--#
if posix.stat("/usr") == nil then
posix.mkdir("/usr")
end
for i,dir in ipairs({"/lib", "/lib64", "/sbin", "/bin"}) do
if posix.stat("/usr"..dir) == nil then
posix.mkdir("/usr"..dir)
if posix.stat(dir, "mode") == nil then
posix.symlink("usr"..dir, dir)
end
end
end
return 0
postinstall scriptlet (using <lua>):
posix.symlink("../run", "/var/run")
posix.symlink("../run/lock", "/var/lock")
