Robin-
Understood. I'm still going to try the upgrade but will burn FC4 iso's
in case of disaster :-)
Thanks for your feedback

Robin-
Could it be that your upgrade skipped a major version number? I'm not
trying to be a troll, just curious.
It would seem to me that going from a final release candidate to a
release version should not require a full install.
If that's the case, then something needs to be addressed with the
current update mechanism.I'm not a programmer but I pride myself in
the fact that I can usually grind out a solution to whatever's
presesnted to me. If I do find something useful, that pearl of wisdom
will be passed on. The only issue i can see is that if someone
installed FC3test 3 and continually updated through yum, at this
point their system is already tracking FC5-devel. What would indicate
to me that I can stop tracking devel and "put the brakes on" to a
release version? I guess that should have been my initial question.
If continual discussion of this issue is beating a dead horse, please
let me know and I'll drop the issue. I'm relatively new to the list
and to Fedora so I don't know what is proper netiquette for this list

I did miss the RH9 so this is an issue. The comment from one of the
sysadmins was to do a clean install. He had gone the version to
version upgrade. This was stated just last week.
Previous discussions on upgrading versus clean install has always
seemed to end in doing a clean install. Even when moving from test to
release. It can be searched in the archives. If I remember
correctly, there may be some residue code or errors from previous bug
fixes that may not be properly dealt with.
