Given I'm still on F9 and not a F10 beta or prerelease, I guess I should look into preupgrade? It sounds like the safety of a disc-based upgrade without the hassle and waste of burning a disc. How does that method alert you to config file and other package conflicts, by the way? Do I need to look for new .rpmnew files or something?
