Hm, if I inspect my /etc dir, the up2date configuration does not point to rawhide (but fedora-update-released). Rawhide had been used during the beta as an intermediate solution. So a new fedor user should not suffer from those quirks with rawhide. > I was really hoping for a strong statement in the release annoucements > that upgrading from a test release is not exactly the most advisable > thing to do. RedHatter did always said that on the lists. Someone who participates at the beta should know about that issue. So I think it is not that big problem. Peter
