I just ran it on a system upgraded from FC-5 to Fedora-7, and it worked perfectly - found 36 problems. [I upgraded from FC-5 because I found this old system on the machine, and didn't want to destroy my FC-6 system, in case Fedora-7 didn't work. As it happened, it worked perfectly - on a PIII Katmai 450MHz machine with 400MB RAM - though it took about 6 hours to upgrade.] This led me to install (too late!) the yum-fastestmirror package, and I was quite impressed with the number of yum plugins available. My impression is that good work is being done to make yum as versatile as possible, and I certainly would not think of changing to anything else. Incidentally, I always run "package-cleanup --cleandupes" just in case; it sorted out problems on another machine. -- 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
