Take a snapshot, apply the updates.

This solution would be best with splitting /home into a own lvm partition. I never heard of a system update breaking something serios in /home :) Your solution would use to much space in my opinion. -- Stefan Held VI has only 2 Modes: obi unixkiste org The first one is for beeping all the time, FreeNode: foo_bar the second destroys the text. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Ambassador: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StefanHeld --------------------------------------------------------------------------- perl -e'map{print pack c,($|++?1:13)+ord,select$,,$,,$,,$|}split//,ESEL.$/' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
