Hi all,
If i download FC6 test 2 and install it when the official version is
released do I have to download it again? or just with a yum update I
will have it on my PC?
thanks,

Guillermo.
Should work, but is NOT guaranteed
You would have to switch yum to point to the FC6 tree and not devel. Not
certain if yum has the FC6 locations in the yum.conf.d files to do that or if
you have to create your own.
It is possible that some packages in the final release will be downgrades
from what is in devel. It is possible that some package names will
change. It is possible that some dependencies will not be satisfied or
that some things will break. That particular upgrade technique is not
tested during QA. IIRC, some people who upgraded from FC5Tx to FC5 that
way had some problems.
It is also possible that you'll never run into anything broken on your
system with your work profile. For myself, I don't like to take the
chance.
