I think the answer to this is that if people are interested in it, and are willing to do the necessary work of: - Testing - Fixing problems they find Than it can be a feature of Fedora; it's not something that, as far as I know, Red Hat is going to spend engineering resources on, but that doesn't constrain the possible features of Fedora. (rpm -Fvh * doens't really quite work, but yum, apt-rpm, etc. can make a closer approximation to what the installer does on an upgrade.) Regards, Owen
