As I said it appears, and I would expect, that a 'fresh install' does work with no problems. And I am not saying that the update path does not, or will not, work. Only that I did not have much success with it. And, as I recall, the 'problems' in the several previous Fedora releases you mentioned were with update installs. And those updates were to highly modified (user configured) systems. -- David "May your road lead you to warm sands." -- 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 Have a question?
