In the same WARNING block that advises"As a precaution, download the
Fedora Workstation Live image
<https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/>
<https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/%3E>in the event
something goes wrong.", the upgrade instructions also advise doing a
back-up. It seems like good wisdom to me. It's not necessary, but good
advice "in the event something goes wrong".

Agreed. I've been doing that (well, a cumulative incremental back-up,
actually) weekly, just before doing my weekly patches.

The instructions advise something similar: doing full patches (dnf
--refresh upgrade) just before doing the upgrade. That's what I do. I'm
curious: is what you do significantly different?
> It's intended... Actually, I just noticed there's a dropdown...
I missed that. Thank-you! I must shortly leave for someplace I must be
for the evening, and I have places to go tomorrow morning. I'll try
that tomorrow afternoon after the weekly patches. That's probably what
I'm looking for.

All I saw was something that looks like "ls" output, nothing to
download. After I report back on mediawriter, I'd like to learn how to
go that route. But let me try the mediawriter approach first.
Thank-you, Samuel.
