I always keep separate /home and /boot partitions. This has occasionally caused minor problems in the past, but Fedora-14 to Fedora-15 was the simplest upgrade I remember. I did both fresh install and upgrade, and both worked without a single problem on very different computers. I always keep Fedora up-to-date, and have never had any problem from this. I'm sure the suggestion that you shouldn't update if you are going to upgrade is misguided. How long before an upgrade are you supposed to stop updating? Nowadays I always keep a spare partition for a new installation if I have enough space. The installation always creates a new grub.conf but it saves the old and I just add this to the new one (deleting duplicate material). Incidentally, isn't it time the Fedora developers gave up this passion for DVDs? Does anyone burn DVDs to install Fedora today? Half the new machines I see don't have DVD drives anyway. Surely everyone has a big enough USB stick? Why not be honest, and take that as the default? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- 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
