FC10 beta to FC10

[revof11]

Does anyone know if installation FC10 beta will auto-upgrade to the "official" release package automatically or will it require a completely new install?

Since the project is in development freeze I figured it'd be a safe time to upgrade. This, of course, assuming that there aren't any major bugs. ;)

yum update should do it.

In that case I may as well upgrade. All my data is backed up on a network share or on CVS/Subversion hosting... so as long as the network drivers work (and something tells me there won't even be a hiccup with that) I may as well. :)

It'll be nice to participate in a beta too for FC.
I haven't don't that yet.

I've been using it for a few weeks without any major issues. Cannot play UT2004 due to OpenGL bug but apart from that, I got everything else working.

I never had problems with FC until the release of 9 (64-bit).
There were a few issues that just made it a bit of a nuisance.

I've been using FC and Gentoo in cooperation for a while now on two separate machines (home-built and pretty much identical). I don't do any gaming (with the exception of some of the Gnome Games, LBreakout2 and Solar Wolf)... but I was contemplating putting Q1/Q2/Q3 on just for kicks.

Probably the only thing that will really kill me is lack of a Livna (http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/) pack. But that just means whatever I want that's not in the default packaging I just do from source myself, which isn't a big deal.

Totally wrong thinking.
The idea of upgrading from rawhide to the release is just a matter of being fully updated to a pre-release time and then the next update gets the packages that change the release numer and repos to to release repos.

But updating from F9 to F10 rawhide is, at this point in time, taking a very high risk, when you could wait until after the release + bug fixes and then use preupgrade for the least risky online upgrade.

The lease risky upgrade is the DVD.

It's not my primary machine and I can live without.
But if I use it enough to report some bugs and see what else is up then it'll be worth while.

I'm sure anyone can live without an old Fedora for a new Fedora.

hasn't the C in FC been dropped for ages already?!

it has, ever since Fedora7.

The F10 beta works great!
It actually even seems a little faster than F9.

The only exception is the OpenOffice.org doesn't display properly (see attached picture) and that the NVidia-provided driver won't compile because of the Xen kernel.
