[...] It took a very long time -- it was still running when I went to bed -- but it did the upgrade -- and booted up connected. I told it yum update before I stopped to think that I hadn't ever customized F7; so there'll be a lot of stuff to uninstall. (Anybody know a way to run pirut under F9? It can be done -- one of my F9 machines has it -- but "yum install pirut" fails, saying that gnome-packagekit is already installed ..) It has been running that update for several hours now, during which I've come upon the warnings at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EeePc; but I plan to let it complete anyway, do the uninstalls (with packagekit if need be; I'm a lot more accustomed to pirut), and run yum update again.
