[resend, never saw the first one]

I have a server running f19 (don't ask). It is heavily customised so I prefer to not do a fresh install of f26 and reconfigure everything.

I am reading the upgrade guide at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading?rd=Upgrade which says (Upgrading from End of life releases). "If you have Fedora 20 or earlier, you will have to perform at least part of the upgrade with bare yum. You can either use that method to upgrade to Fedora 21 or later" My plan is to do this f19 -> f21 (yum) following https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_package_manager f21 -> f26 (DNF system upgrade)

I suspect that attempting to go directly to f26 may be a bridge too far.

I will check and clean the system before/after each step.

Beyond the listed "common problems", is there any reason to not follow this path? Is there a better way?

TIA
