Nobody ever complains when something works right, so I thought I'd lead by example. And there's been a number of messages lately reporting that preupgrade doesn't work right. Upgrades typically take a long time, so I figured the long holiday weekend was the perfect opportunity. I uncharacteristically decided to risk doing the entire process remotely, so I didn't even need to drive to work. >From home, I logged into my development machine at work. executed preupgrade-cli, which proceeded to download 979 packages and told me to reboot to complete the upgrade. Held my breath and typed "shutdown -r now" and waited. At first, I thought it screwed up because 20 minutes later I still couldn't log into my machine. I despaired of the disaster I was going to find when I went back to work Monday. But this morning, I made another attempt at contact. To my delight, the machine was responding to pings and I was able to log in. From what I can tell, the upgrade was a complete success. All services on the machine seem to be running as expected. So I completely expect to be running a shiny new Fedora 10 next week with virtually no fuss. Thanks, everyone, for writing great software! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
