By "unofficial fedora-upgrade tool" I suppose you mean "yum upgrade"? I've seen posts about it, but never tried it myself. > (I've always > had fedup hang, leaving large numbers of duplicate packages and the > system only working in CLI mode.

And, to answer your question, fedup is still the official > upgrade tool. I had somehow missed the information on full release as of 12/9; so I guess I'm jumping the gun a bit. I apologize for that. However, as I tried to say before, I'm left with my two main PCs running F21 Alpha and respectively F21 Beta. Beta is all right. I've often installed a Beta on an expendable machine -- not that I can help much, if at all, but just to get a foretaste. However, I've never touched an Alpha before, and I'm stunned at having no problems, so far <touch wood!>. I guess what I'm after is any clue on whether I'm better off putting my Beta install medium into the Alpha machine, or simply running fedup on it. Or, I suppose, keeping both as they are and hanging on for another month.
