i'm having similar thoughts. i realize that an alpha release is
meant to be an adventure but trying to do that "yum update" rendered
my system totally unusable, to the point where booting to runlevel 3
showed that the "yum" command didn't even exist anymore. at that
point, i just re-installed from scratch because it wasn't salvageable.
but i'm still curious -- has anyone else performed a successful full
update? should you be able to?

default layout so, yes, /boot -> /dev/sda1.

not explicitly. as in, not apart from the system defaults.
