I have a dual opteron box and I believe I had every possible FC3 package
loaded on it. I created a FC4 install DVD and attempted to upgrade using
anaconda. The installation seemed to complete after an hour and 45 min.
When the machine rebooted, it booted the same FC3 kernel I was using
before the install and there were no FC4 kernels installed on the machine.
For some reason I do not understand, very few of the packages were
upgraded to FC4. I used rpm -qa | grep -i fc4 and less than 20 packages
were FC4. rpm -qa | grep -i fc3 on the other hand listed tons of packages.
BTW The /etc/fedora-release was updated to FC4, but "yum update" had
problems with package dependencies and refused to update.
Is there a package dependency problem floating around?
How can I upgrade my system to FC4.

PS: Does the FC4 installation dvd do anything other than this:
1) Update /etc/fedora-release with an FC4 string
2) execute "yum update"
when updating?
I've had things break in the past doing upgrades.
I simply don't do them any more.
I backup the configurations and /home and just clear it all out.
Takes a little longer but at least it hasn't failed me yet.
Regards,
Ed.
