One of the frustrations here, is that the base of subscribers on

at least two requests on this subject.
There have been few, if no, replies. I've tried to find other sources as

Just because you ask a question doesn't mean that somebody on this list will
know the answer. And, if that's the case, it doesn't matter how many times
you ask; you still won't get an answer.
I understand that.
I've also conditioned my request by asking for other sources.
I've been around since Fedora Core 2, and have made much use of the
supporting email lists.
I also suspect, but don't know, that the subscription base should be
reasonably extensive and that developer members of the Fedora user
community use this is as a resource.
Since not all Fedora knowledge can be encapsulated in one place or in one
person, community discourse is key and fundamental in maintaining the
vitality of this sort of project.
On this upgrade go-around (F17->F18) the challenges in the process have
been more elevated (I now have an unuseable machine because of this; I'd
like to go through some recovery and I *do* rely on this list as a primary
resource for that). For me, ther have probably been more frustrating
upgrades. And at this point, I'm savvy enough to have backups and
redundancy.
W/r/t FedUp, since it is a procedure that is now central to upgrading
releases of Fedora, I expect that there would be more interest at this
point, where more focus is being placed on it. So some sort of dialogue on
this subject would be helpful.
So, how do I recover the use of my machine.
Much thanks.
