All, I have been using Fedora since back in the RedHat 8 days. Here of late, when updates come out I have typically just downloaded the DVD and done an Upgrade of an existing installation and I have had great success with that. I have not used PreUpgrade and I'm not clear on what the advantages are supposed to be in going that route. At times I have backed up my user directory, done a clean install and then restored my home directory. With the changes that are introduced in FC16 (specifically the UID and GID numbering and the disk label changes) I was wondering if using PreUpgrade is preferred. With the UID changes I was not certain that my process of backing up my home directory and restoring it after a clean install would work at all, but I thought a straight Upgrade process might be acceptable. Thanks in advance for any insight.
