Is there a better way than fedup, and why is it so slow?
The last few upgrades, I went by the yum method. Despite all the
warnings on the wiki, this seems to be the smoothest of all upgrade
methods I have tried since F10.
Hope this helps,
Appreciated! Having just wasted a lot of time with fedup, it may, I'll go check
the wiki in the morning. On the first try I started with about 2G free, and got
this:

19/Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD/Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD.iso

Which wasn't obvious, since the error message appears to say I have more than I
need.
So I cleared more space and tried again, which ran to completion and told me to
reboot. There was about a GB of stuff in the /var/tmp/fedora-upgrade tree, which
was encouraging. I did the reboot, and the default boot option was Fedora
upgrade, which started, put up a screen with a crawling white line, and when
done booted back into Fedora18. Checking /boot there are no Fedora19 images, and
/var/tmp/fedora-upgrade is now empty of all the stuff it had there before the
reboot. Nothing is changed as far as I can see. I got this behavior with both a
network upgrade and upgrade from an iso image with no visible network activity.
I'm very ready to try the yum method, since fedup is no more functional for me
than ever, less actually, since it did eventually complete the last time I
updated these machines.
