That is why the release tags look so ugly. ;) I strongly assume the same for all mentioned repos. But note that anaconda is very hard to packages, for instance it rips out all your old kernels w/o removing the associated dependent rpms, leaving dangling dependencies behind (which an apt-get -f install rectify). My smoothest upgrades until now have been with apt, and I assume similar success with yum. If you have LVM/RAID forget it and use anaconda by all means (and if you have x86_64 apt is not yet working on biarchs anyway). Just for reference here are Seth's And Panu's HOWTO links for upgrading vai apt/yum: http://laiskiainen.org/apt/misc/fc1-fc2-apt-hints.txt http://www.linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/misc/fc1-fc2-yum-hints.txt No HOWTO for ananconda, I guess that's not needed ;) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
