Try running `dnf distro-sync` first.  If it says it will install F39 packages, then don't continue.

Tried it as root and re-directed to a text file.  It wants to upgrade packages to f-39, so I responded 'N' to its prompt.


I have "ext2explore" in windows-7, so I can access (read only!) that text file produced by "dnf distro-sync".  Here are the first several lines:

What does "rpm -qa | grep release" show you?
If it gives you both 39 and 40 release packages, then remove the 39 ones and try the distro-sync again.

You could also try adding `--release=40` to the distro-sync command.

Before I proceed, after "dnf upgrade" (but before "dnf system- upgrade..." to f-40), I had the correct rpm fusion nvidia driver.  After the "dnf system-upgrade" to f40, I had the nouveau graphics driver (bad!).  Is the distro-sync to f-40 going to leave me stuck with the nouveau graphics driver?

You won't be stuck, but you might need to use it briefly until you can get the other one configured.
