I want to upgrade mostly because of XFCE 4.6. I wanted to get rid of

would be available in F10 I would abandon all this jumping through
hoops right away. :)
You don't need to upgrade to try XFCE 4.6. I'm running XFCE 4.6 on an F8
box. Just get the installer from the XFCE site and run it. You can
install in a local directory under your home directory, so it won't
touch anything else on your F10 system.
Then add the following it your .bash_profile :
PATH=$HOME/bin:$HOME/xfce4.6/bin:$PATH
Switch to run-level 3 and run "startxfce4" and you're there.
Hi John,
Do you have a link for the installer? I can't seem to find any from
xfce.org. I however found a mirror from a post at forum.xfce.org.
http://mocha.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.6.0/installers/
Are these the ones I should be downloading?
