Where did you 'get' the preupgrade. The Fedora 9 that I started with Saturday came with preupgrade. I clean installed Fedora 9 and did updates to current. When I ran preupgrade, in Fedora 9, I was offered Fedora 10 or, by checking the box, Rawhide (to be Fedora 11). Since the Fedora 10 was up-to-date it's preupgrade offered 'nothing' except the check box that get 'Rawhide'. There was a bug for some, IIRC, with preupgrade in Fedora 9 to Fedora 10. Some but not all. Fedora would never 'force' you to use Rawhide. Although it kicks the poo, IMO, out of Fedora 10. Many changes and improvements. I run Rawhide all of the time anyway. -- David -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
