Lots of work to make everything work. The latter passed great, except for one BUG in anaconda when it tried to start a swap partition that was actually a swapfile on a different partition then /. Besides that, preupgrade did the job quite well. I I'm very happy on how the upgrade process has evolved in the last release. -- Martín Marqués select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' DBA, Programador, Administrador -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
