I always try a new release with my old home directory and settings. Only if things misbehave I'll rename my old directory, then re-create the user anew, etc. As far as going from F11 to F12, everything stayed in place and everything worked, except for one keyboard shortcut: move windows. That may be a problem with compiz though, which I am using in F12, but I didn't use in F11. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
