Hi, guys,
It is getting to be time to upgrade again. I am debating the wipe and
reinstall method, over the upgrade by YUM. One of the issues facing me
it the loss of the FEL spin. I use a lot of those tools along with some
other stuff I have had to get via download and install. I have also had
my issues with GNOME (no rant, just aggravation). So, Here is the big
question... Has anyone done either the full jump (f20-f22) or is the
preferred process f20 to f21 then move to f22 a bit later?
I have been doing a dvd iso (stored on the /home partition) install with
a kickstart.cfg file, but with the new workstation/server/cloud ISOs I
have found that a netinstall (located in the same directory as the
server iso) gives me more flexibility - I can put any of the Fedora
packages on that I want.
If your computer is setup this way
The drive is setup:
1 partition for root
1 partition for /home
no swap partition (I use a swapfile instead). If you have a swap
partition that is ok.
I reformat the root partition
I DO NOT reformat the /home partition just mount it.
This allows me to put any version of Fedora on that I want.
I have been doing it this way for 3-4 years and not had any problems.

Applications currently in use:
Android Development studio (not ready for prime time is my best take on
this thing right now)
Arduino (yes, I know it is available from yum, but has it migrated to
dnf?
gEDA design suite
gcc
gputils
gnuplot
Microchips MPLABX
openSCAD
gedit
pyGcode Viewer
evolution
Eagle CAD
Libre Office
evince
gnome-terminal (but could use any typical unix type terminal window)
Languages in use: C, C++, Python, Assembly (multiple processors),
Pascal, ADA, Fortran, COBOL, CLISP and some others occasionally.
Eclipse occasionally
FFTW but I usually download that from their site.
Upcoming interests 3D printing and milling and machining.
Any thoughts on which is the correct path, and is there any way to get
the Electronics Lab equivalent as the base for these efforts?
Regards,
Les H
