How can I Downgrade Mageia 7?
Posted: Mar 23rd, '20, 01:50
hello.
i have been using mageia for years, and recently (about 4 months ago) allowed it to upgrade my mageia 5 install to 6, then to 7.
after the upgrade to 6, my websites and forums stopped working due to package upgrades and the flow of progress with software.
the problem i have is this: i dont have the time to upgrade my websites and forums to the upgraded software.
while my forums can be upgraded (although not easily), my websites will require manual changes.
this is an endevour i havent been able to do, and wont for the foreseeable future.
as my sites were designed for mageia 5, and worked mostly perfectly, i have been looking for ways to revert the upgrades back to mageia 5.
the catch is i dont want to wipe my system for a fresh install.
i have around 14 years of data with limited backup ability.
so, my question....how can i revert my mageia 7 back to mageia 5 witihout a complete hdd wipe?
thanks for your suggestions and ideas
