I understand that major stuff has changed with every release, but if, as an end user, I could be reasonably sure that I could install the latest fedora-release, yum update, reboot, and I have a the latest version of fedora, that would be a happy thing Most likely this will *never* be a supported thing. nobody wants to deal with it, but if we could work towards being able to jump from FC(X - 1) to FC(X) like that, it would be a nicety even if the requirements are, FC and extras only. how difficult would it be to enable selinux or udev on a migration? LVM is an install time option only, I understand that. but some things don't strike me as being too far outside the realm of reason. This "reinstall every six months" kinda sucks ya know. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
