I downloaded the DVD iso of Fedora 9 Alpha some time ago. Is it still
worth installing and then updating, or should I wait for a "beta"

i'd wait for the beta if not the Release candidate .. its pretty close
to the finish of the Alpha anyway, an things will more than likely
change in the Beta, ..you can update to the beta once you install the
Alpha but its prefered to make a clean install, that way no traces of
Bugs from the alpha is left behind
And there are quite a few of them. I'd suggest waiting for Beta as
well. Your other choice would be to do a network install, which your
Alpha disk could let you do, but I would not just install the packages
from the Alpha disk.. do the network install or wait.
I'll add my opinion. f9a is barely useable for me, with will-known
problems. nobody needs more reports of the same problems.
If you want to track brokenware, await the next ISOs, install and track
rawhide. If you install now you may find your first update is well over
500 Mbytes. I'm trying to be conservative and non-controversial here, I
want to say it will be well over 500 Mbytes;-)
