The only third-party repository that I have actively installed is Livna, but I have a number of cron jobs and several bits of custom-compiled (non-rpm) software that I also run on this computer, plus it is a LTSP server. (I have a nifty little Neoware terminal behind the counter in my theatre lobby that I use to read books and whatnot while the show is on.) As this is my main computer where all of my stuff lives, setting the whole thing up again from scratch would probably take the better part of a day and a fair bit of thought, not to mention that there is always one little thing that I manage to forget about until something suddenly doesn't happen the way that it should. Upgrading it appears to be destined to take a half-day at least, but the majority of the job can run unattended and, hopefully, overnight. My plan is to boot from the CD later tonight, run the upgrade, then tomorrow morning I will update the Livna rpm to v8 and run "yum update" after that; hopefully everything will just work. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
