>> If you really wanted to try this, you could install yum, and set it
to fetch from rawhide (right now). I can see a number of problems with
this right now. For example, I dont' think rawhide has all of the
packages from FC1 in it, just more recent changes. <<
It can work.
Yesterday, on a RHL9 box I edited the yum.conf to point to the FC test 3
CD RPMs in a local directory for "base" and a rawhide repository on the
web as "updates". I started yum update and went to bed. 897 packages
were updated by morning and it was FC1 except for details like
installing fedora-release to do the name change.
Very nice,
