I generally reinstall, but having done 4-5 upgrades in the last few days, using install DVD media, and if you are willing to accept that the upgrade will probably not be as clean as an install in terms of filesystem setup or leaving a few configs in an old setting, then the benefit is that it will be faster to upgrade and you will preserve your custom settings *in most cases*. The more revisions between the initial and current revision the higher chance of problems, some functional, and some just things like using old filesystem types or config files. People go either way, depending on which issues they most want to avoid. Have good backups of critical stuff, whichever way you go. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
