I've upgraded a couple of machines via preupgrade. On my laptop which sits behind a DHCP enabled router, it went well except for video not working when it first came back up. I suppose for a newbie, that would have been a deal-breaker; for me, it was relatively trivial - I also had some weird issues with KDE. But today, I'm trying to upgrade a server at work which sits right on the net and which has a fixed IP. Preupgrade keeps choking when it gets to the part where Network Manager wants to configure my NIC. This machine is running F9 with Network Manager disabled, and all settings configured through the old network service - it should not default to turning NM on and trying to get an address via DHCP in this situation; I'll try to get a bug filed but we're entering into holiday time in the U.S. so I may not get to it for awhile. The other weird thing is that it said it couldn't download the install image or something in /boot due to insufficient space; I uninstalled all but the current kernel and I'm showing nearly 70 mB of space in /boot; so, I'm not sure what's up with that - it said it could download the image later if I was connected to the net via a wire, but, with the NM thing described above, I never got a chance to verify that. Fortunately, pressing Ctl-Alt-Del restarts the machine in the middle of these failures, and it boots back into my previous OS version without further incident. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
