I do not, myself, feel that I am in any way qualified to 'vote' on this. Or even discuss it. My participation with Fedora is user-to-user help and bug reports. However... I really, really suggest that since this is going happen that it be *painless* for Joe/Jane Average User updates. Or clean installs. As well as for the so called 'power-user' that has sersiouly modified his/his system. That was the reason I posed these questions. Because I can already hear the screaming and flame wars. Messages filled with insults and '!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" comments. Please make this 'just work' as far back as Fedora 15 and *loudly* warn anyone using a before Fedora 15 release that their system *will* explode. I suggest on the web pages and in the Release Notes. And since *no one reads those first* also in the installer. As in - STOP! This will destroy your install. Do you want to do this? n/Y? Followed with - Are you sure that you want to destroy your system? y/N? Are you *really sure*? y/N? Please. -- David "May your road lead you to warm sands." -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
