As far as I can see, the document you recommend starts by advising the reader to do something else, and gives a link to this alternative method. To me that is confusing, for a start. It is rather like opening a Russian grammar, and being told you would do better to study Greek. B. I should say that to date I have always moved to a new distribution - I have gone through all Fedora distributions since the first - by installing the new distribution on a spare partition, keeping the old in case the new one does not work. I expect to do the same in the future, though I am always open to new methods. So I was only reading the documents mentioned out of interest. As I said, I found them rather confusing. It is true, probably, that one could abstract an "idiot-proof" 1-2-3-4 instruction if one deleted 80% of the document. Are there really people trying to update from Fedora-13 to Fedora-14? I would extend Thompson's dictum that "a program should do one thing, and do it well" to documentation. -- 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?
