I take it that FC6t1 contains all the FC5 updates (and extras?), together with some RPMs from FC5's fedora-updates-testing and fedora-extras-development? In other words, a judicious selection of RPMs available under FC5. Is that a correct understanding? I realize that sometimes there may be cataclysmic changes, eg in gcc, which mean that everything has to be changed in one fell swoop. But that seems pretty rare to me. Nb I'm not criticizing the production of test versions, just trying to clarify the philosophy behind them. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
