Once the issue is addressed via a bugzilla ticket, there may be a link to a maintainer's test image (generally a small boot.iso). Or it might require changes that will get rolled into the next release. > If not, then how does one upgrade when there is an issue with > install/upgrade associated with the particular hardware one has? If it is a big enough issue, you wait the ~6 months for the next release. Or, better yet, since you know you have a problem, you use the test releases to verify the issue is fixed. Or, if you really want to live on the edge, you try a network install of rawhide. -- William Hooper
