Everyone:

I'm trying to sort out the rumors I've heard. Among other things: that using a Live Spin CD on an existing Fedora
system is not safe, and will destroy all data.

Has that actually happened to anyone here?
What is the safest way to upgrade an existing system from F17->F18?
official: fedup
reality: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_17_-.3E_Fedora_18



That's what I was after: reality. And reality is that at least fifty percent of all users are fed up with fedup.

Now then: I set myself up as a "sudoer." (That is, I'm a member of group "wheel" and can issue "sudo" commands.)

Why does the method you linked to, recommend using the "su" method, that is, "becoming root" with every single command?

Do those commands not respond to "sudo"?

FInally: I sense that I don't really have all the written commands. Should I use the fedora-upgrade script?

Thanks.
