Right, typo, sorry. >> # just offers me ordinary F12 updates > I think it does it correctly, proving that it is smarter than given credit for > (I assume it updates the current system first, and then continues with > the requested upgrade ...). > This is a step that should be emphasized in the entire procedure - when you do > manual upgrade, it is essential that the current system is up to date first - Well, I do not update system right before upgrade (except yum etc.), as e.g. F13 is now offering 357MB updates od KDE. There is no reason to apply them if I am going to update right away to F14. > I think putting "yum check-update' and 'yum update' there explicitly would make > this point clearer. > I suspect that some people fail with manual upgrade (via yum) because of that. Yes, you are right. With "old way" you also have to take care of doing "yum clean all" right before update. It may be "yum check-update" would do that too. > Anyway, congrats on your upgraded system "the old way", but next time do not > rush, do some more debugging and be rewarded :-) > > JB Thanks anyway.
