OR install the fedora-release package from the full fc4 release (taking care to look for .rpmnew files in case you already editted the config files you want changed). Test releases are snapshots of the development tree... they are not branches. Full releases are branched off of the development tree and get their own dedicated update directory. Testers who want to stop being part of the development process when a new release is branched.. need to do a fresh install to be sure they are getting what they expect. There are testers/developers who continue to track the development tree after a full release is branched. There are some who never actually do a test release install and install directly from the development tree using the provided boot.iso. I see no reason why the people tracking the development tree should have their workflow disrupted by an abrupt change in repository configuration to point to fc4 updates. If you want fc4 and you want to be sure you have fc4 with no linger development packages or development configuration settings... install fc4. -jef
