How's everyone? I was excited to try out the rest3 version of FC4, it
installed flawlessly on my machine, and so far have not been
experiencing any problems except for when up2date freezes when it says
it's gathering a list of packages on my machine. I read the messages
and apparently it's a common bug everyone's experiencing so I'm not
too worried about it. I'm using yum update instead and that works fine.
I like all the new features, but it did take me a little bit to get
used to where the configuration options are now (like add/remove
packages, etc), but they're in a much more logical position now than
they were before. Also love all the stuff that comes with KDE now,
there's a ton of stuff I have yet to try out :)
I've done beta testing before (I'm doing that now for an online game)
so I know to expect bugs and glitches, but aside from the bug I've
mentioned, test3's been working very well for me.

After FC4test3 installation, considerable time has gone caused by
up2date included extras-development,
it result to no exist ".rpm" or invalid "url".
Therefore, I up2date under development environment without
extras-development,
with clearing /var/spool/up2date just before each operation of up2date.
1. preparation
1.1 setting of "/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources"
1) comment out extras-development
"#yum extras-development
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/$ARCH/";
"#yum-mirror extras-development
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-devel";
1.2 setting of "/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date"
1) alternative setting on up2date
#up2date-config --nox
7. pkgSkipList ['kernel*', 'GFS*', 'cman*', 'dlm*', 'gnbd*']
18. useGPG No
19. headerCacheSize 1000
33. headerFetchCount 1000
2. up2date --dry-run under up2date-4.4.17-1
1) clear all .hdr under "/var/spool/up2date"
2) #up2date --dry-run
3) ==> get avairable package
3. up2date up2date* (up2date-4.4.17-1 -> up2date-4.4.18-1)
1) clear all .hdr under "/var/spool/up2date"
2)#up2date up2date*
4. up2date --dry-run under up2date-4.4.18-1
1) clear all .hdr under "/var/spool/up2date"
2) #up2date --dry-run
3) ==> get avairable package
5. up2date all
1) clear all .hdr under "/var/spool/up2date"
2) "#up2date "[C-x]*"
If failed, try each step.
