No, upgrading F15 is a pain. Beware, expect danger! System 1: I tried to upgrade one system using the install DVD. Upon rebooting, I got a blank screen with a flashing cursor. Not even grub! A fresh install (overwriting everything) fixed that, but still... System 2: I tried it on a second system, using both the Live CD and the install DVD. I got further, but gdm crashed when trying to log users in (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707985, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651180). I found a workaround for that, but the system was super-unstable and prone to long freezes. Swapping in different video cards and ethernet cards didn't fix it, so I had to revert to F14 on that system. System 3: I used preupgrade-cli with vnc, but it wouldn't boot into anaconda - another black screen with a flashing cursor. Going to the second grub choice landed me safely back in F14. I'm kind of sad, because I actually really like gnome-shell now! It has quirks, but they'll get ironed out soon enough... This will be a slow roll-out here, based on results so far :-( - Mike -- 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
