I *never* reinstall unless I really had to (moving one installation from i386 to x86_64). Otherwise I always upgrade using either anaconda back in the days and then preupgrade. There is some weird attitude that "upgrades don't work anyway people should just reinstall". Not only is a reinstall a lot more work it is just not something you could ask from a user to do every 6-12 months. Technically there is no difference between an upgrade and package updates just the package set is larger, it just makes dealing with stuff like usrmove easier. If an update from foo-1.0 to foo-2.0 breaks the whole system it will regardless whether you upgrade from FN-1 to FN or doing a "yum update" in a rolling release. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
