Can i update FC5_64bit to all the functionalities of FC6, And more necessarily make an update CD. Whenever we install this OS it asks if there is any additional media. I should be able to update my OS by that method.

To update everything just type the command, as root

yum -y update [a-z]*

And then to install everything extra available in repositories, command as root

yum -y install [a-z]*


Warning : It will download a whole lotta MBs or perhaps 1-2 GBs or more from repos with this method and make FC5 fully updated and equipped.

It shud update to all functionalities of FC6, but not so sure.
