	Dumb question, probably : if you install and run preupgrade 
according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PreUpgrade, BUT let it stop 
after downloading boot images, is there some user-friendly thing you can 
do then to make it secure? Something on the order of getting into a 
directory and commanding, in effect, "check all signatures"?

	Or had we just better wait till PreUpgrade 1.0 comes out? Or ...?

	If the latter, do we need to get rid of whatever-all 0.9.3-3 
downloaded? Or will we be able to just "yum update PreUpgrade" in F8 and 
then run it again?
