Really, I've never managed to do a hassle free upgrade, and it's not worth the time. Grab an iso, dd to usb drive, boot, 15 minutes later, you're running a brand new system. You may want to dump a list of installed packages before reinstalling, rpm -qa | sort > packages.log, then do a diff with the new system and install ones which are missing. maciek -- 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
