Initial impression: Most things came through. Some did not. The /etc/sysconfig/network was overwritten; the hostname of the system was lost. The /etc/hosts file diappeared without backup, the new file containing only the localhost line. I don't know if it has bearing, but I requested vnc monitoring during the installation. It did not work, but this was my first try with it. It did bring up the network configuration dialog. i supplied the static ip and non-standard gateway settings. But the hostname dialog did not run. i really didn't expect it, since I requested an upgrade. The information was already booked in the system. I did not expect the upgrade to handle the surplus repository definitions. Looking into /etc/yum.repos.d/ [jpearson@localhost yum.repos.d]$ ls atrpms.repo fedora.repo.rpmsave dag.repo fedora-updates.repo dries.repo fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew Edward.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo Edward.repo~ fedora-updates-testing.repo.rpmnew fedora-core.repo freevo.repo fedora-development.repo freshrpms.repo fedora-extras-development.repo freshrpms.repo~ fedora-extras.repo livna.repo fedora-extras.repo.rpmnew It looks like most of the changes are available. Some notification of rpmnew, and rpmsave, might be useful. Now that I look: [jpearson@localhost ~]$ locate rpmnew /etc/ldap.conf.rpmnew /etc/localtime.rpmnew /etc/rndc.key.rpmnew /etc/updatedb.conf.rpmnew /etc/vimrc.rpmnew /etc/X11/fs/config.rpmnew /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf.rpmnew /etc/openldap/ldap.conf.rpmnew /etc/sysconfig/vncservers.rpmnew /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo.rpmnew /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo.rpmnew /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew Thank you for not resetting locate, localtime, logwatch and vncservers. [jpearson@localhost ~]$ locate rpmsave /etc/named.conf.rpmsave /etc/updatedb.conf.rpmsave /etc/X11/X.rpmsave /etc/alsa/pcm/dmix.conf.rpmsave /etc/alsa/pcm/dsnoop.conf.rpmsave /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.rpmsave /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia.rpmsave /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo.rpmsave /usr/share/a2ps/afm/fonts.map.rpmsave I don't routinely scan for these modifications, although I probably should. The loss of livna supplied nvidia drivers was transparent. I am impressed with the care that implies. I am ready to do the first update. I think that I will try pup. -Jpearson -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
