Does F8 Unity respin do upgrades?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	It's time to move my wife's machine from F7 to F8, since she's 
about to be out of town for a few days and not using it. I have her data 
backed up, to the guest room laptop and to burnt media; but I see that 
the Fedora Unity folks, bless them, have a respin out.

	rpm -q says I have jigdo-0.7.3-4.fc8; so I suppose I can hack a 
way through downloading it. 

	Can someone tell me whether it does upgrades successfully? The 
DVD I have does not -- no big problem, since it was time for a clean 
install on my own machines, anyway. 

	Possible joker in deck : her machine still has XP on it; but I 
menat to dump that already on the upgrade from fc6 to F7, and forgot; 
I'll take considerable glee in doing it now, albeit belatedly. 

	So : advice please!

	Do I want to learn enough jigo to get by with, and hope to manage 
a clean burn? (I can try Brasero, K3B, and Nautilus.) 

	Or had I better just go with the known good original DVD, and 
plan on letting yum update run all night? (I have wireless broadband, a 
trifle better than DSL or cable.)
