However, in trying to upgrade my x86_64 system from F7 to F8 the installer got stuck in "Checking dependencies in packages selected to be installed" when it was approx. 25% through checking. I tried also text installation and even us-en installation instead of localized version (fi) to no avail. It got stuck in the same place every time. FWIW, I've been able to upgrade this same system every step of the way, FC4->FC5->FC6->F7, but not F7->F8. It may have something to do with the fact that I've now got more third-party (i.e. Livna) packages installed but I'm sure I had some of them even in earlier upgrades - with no apparent harm. Mine is a dual-boot system with Windows XP and Fedora -and this has been so ever since FC4. Fedora has a separate /boot partition (LABEL="/boot"). The rest (swap & /) are contained in LVM. I'd appreciate any pointers in trying to find out why the installer gets stuck. If all else fails, I might consider burning some 10 GB of /home to DVDs and do a clean install. Regards Antti
