I'm running F10-Snap3-i686-Live-KDE (updated). An update today changed /etc/fedora-release to "Fedora release 10 (Cambridge)". As far as I can see, this automatically makes any changes necessary to upgrade to Fedora-10, so it is not clear to me what more preupgrade would do. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
