The problem with that is that any weirdness you encounter will probably go away on its own as FC4 packages get updated (and override the broken ones your system inherited). And the experience won't be too much use for when you want to do the same from 4.92 to 5, as many things will have changed (and the brokenness will then be something else entirely). Besides, there should be few people trying this; whilst all manpower will be concentrating on getting a clean install of FC4 from scratch or an upgrade to FC 4 from the range of RH 7.3 to FC 3, so... That said, as FC4 is a fork off the development version, the wisest course of action would have been stopping updating a week or so before the launch date, fix up the repos when the dust has settled and update again (and look closely for .rpmnew and .rpmsave files left after updating anything, and perhaps stuff that stays in the old version even with newer versions available). It might explode anyway... Scratch "wisest" above. Replace with "highest probability of success, foolish anyway" ;-) Good luck! -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513
