Upgrade from 8 -> 10; WRONG ARCHITECTURE!!!

[buccaneere]

I'm upgradin' direct from the web, but I clicked on i386 instead of x86 64 (this is laptop w/ AMD64).

Can I change this later?

Edit:
I just stopped the download at this point. Should I delete the files and start again?

Post the output of uname -a command here.
Package Updater is in Download Stage only. You can cancel and restart afresh any time.

I understand 'Still in download stage', but it looks like most of the upgrade packages have downloaded. I'm just wondering if they are now in a local depository, and should be deleted. Is that what uname -a will show? (I'm off of that machine right now...)

Thanks!

[devils casper]

uname -a will display kernel, distro version and type only.

[buccaneere]

Here's return for uname -a

[root@localhost chuckfc8]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 #1 SMP Tue Oct 30 13:55:12 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost chuckfc8]#

This is AMD Turion64 laptop.

Execute this

yum clean all

[buccaneere]

Devil's Casper? Maybe should be LKB (LinuxKnowledgeBase)???

Anyway here, no return for the above code.

BUT, I think I found out where those files are downloaded to, and some MORE TOO...

I think that, because I tried to resume the download, and I ran out of space on the partition on which I have FC8:

And a disk display shows:

This ain't right - it's a fresh install from fc8 LiveCD...

Duplicated files?

[devils casper]

Execute this

su -
yum clean all

It will clean all uninstalled/downloaded packages. Check output of df -h and sudo du -chx --max-depth=1 / commands again.

5.1 GB size is not enough for Fedora. You should allocate 8-10GB at least. Is there any free/unparititoned space left in your harddisk? You can resize existing partitions easily.
Post the output of this

su -
fdisk -l

[buccaneere]

Yeah - there's free space, but it will have to come from another partition. THis task needs to be done while on a live boot?

[root@localhost chuckfc8]# df -h

This is disk space of which me@fc8 has read/write capability???

Must additional space come from an ADJACENT partition? I have never resized a partition in a 4 multi-boot. Scary --->

Lemme' guess - shrink one partition, then increase sda4 from live boot?

[devils casper]

Its really easy to resize Partitions. GParted Partition Manager is available in Fedora LiveCD. You can use PartedMagic LiveCD too.
/dev/sda4 is / partition of Fedora. What is in /dev/sda2 partition?
