Beta 4 - Upgrading via YUM

[Roger Grosswiler]

Good evening ladies and gentelmen,

i was upgrading from fc6 to f7t4 using yum and the notes from fc6 on
fedoraproject.org

conclusion: my notebook still exists, it is working. Even tough, it
took about 12 hours for the whole process (on a p2/400 mhz, don't
laugh :P)

After that, i usually make my rpm -qa | grep fc6 this brings up the
following list:

dillo-0.8.6-3.fc6


...those should be the list for the files to rpm -e. Some of them are
from extras, perhaps some of them are from livna, so this list is for
information. Take what you need and forget about the rest. In fact,
almost everyting is working fine. I still wait for the latest
ndiswrapper from livna, which i hope to be followed soon.

After the upgrade, i was missing some functions (fast-user-switch)
which are there on a installation by default. This applet is now
working too, after i started it manually.

I think, i would make sense to delete the .gnome* - directories in the
home-dir to get the full set of functionalities.

HTH
