It would depend on why it doesn't boot of course. If it's something a rescue disk can fix, do that before upgrading. Otherwise just reinstall, it'll be less work in the long run.

I suggest you review the mailing list archives from around 6 months ago, a year ago, 18 months ago etc., i.e. just after each successive version of Fedora is released, and you'll see people saying exactly the same thing. Every time someone says that Fedora isn't "ready for prime time". What they mean is that *they* have some problem. The way these problems get fixed is by people actually installing and using the system. If that model doesn't suit you, you might be better off with another distro with longer-term support. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
