As system layouts become more complicated (btrfs, multi-boot, raid, etc.) it becomes more difficult for a DVD based upgrade to figure out the system's setup without user intervention. With preupgrade you are running it from within the system to be upgraded, it already knows everything it needs to about how to setup the system. All it needs to do pass this on to anaconda when it builds the upgrade grub entry. We would probably want to expand preupgrade the be able to setup the upgrade using the DVD as the package source for those cases when network access isn't available or slow. Brian -- Brian C.
