Re: Preupgrade still sucks. Maybe sucks less, maybe sucks more.

My experience was exactly opposite. I upgraded from F13 to F15 without a
hitch. While I was working at my workstation at home, I started
preupgrade from the terminal and it downloaded the new packages. Once it
was done, I rebooted it and made sure the upgrade process had started
and left for my University.

About an hour later from the university, I tried to login to my home
workstation and walla! preupgrade had finished and booted to a working
F15 machine, running with all my services just the way it was as if
nothing had changed.

FWIW, I think all the preupgrade headache arises when people don't
realise it downloads the latest packages, creates a temporary repo and
then uses anaconda for the upgrade. IMHO, if uptime and lack physical
access to the machine is what is the prime concern, then an upgrade path
via yum should be the prefered option.

Just my 2 cents.
