No exactly. Preupgrade downloads some stuf for and I think does a more robust rebuild of the boot images. (Sometimes it hasn't been possible to build the initrd for a new release while running under the old kernel.) I believe anaconda (I'm don't know about preupgrade) does the updates in a way that they aren't blocked by (some) dependencies. This is especially relevant if you use third party repos. -- 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
