Well, I ran 'yum update' just for fun but not intending to accept the update but I was never given that chance. It appears that it is looking for dependencies so it bombed. Here is at the end of the message of 'yum update': --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 set to be erased --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libgsf-1.so.113 for package: abiword --> Processing Dependency: libgsf-1.so.113 for package: wv2 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libgsf-1.so.113 is needed by package abiword Error: Missing Dependency: libgsf-1.so.113 is needed by package wv2 Also, There is another response from poster that replied I can just 'yum update' if I wanted to continue testing but now I cannot decide which pathway I want to take.... If I do not want to continue to test and go to FC5 from FC5-T3, what exactly would I end up with? Would I (eventually) get a full production release as if I installed it from scratch sans the stuff I installed outside of the FC5-T3 release? If I want to continue testing, do you suggest that I just go ahead and do a 'yum update' but with exclusions of dependencies until eventually I get these dependencies installed later, somehow?
