Beta Newbie Seeks Tinkering Advice

[sonoran]

I installed F11 Beta x86_64 from livecd, +439 updates, AOK!

This is my first Fedora Beta and I'm impressed - nice job, congratulations and thanks to all involved - here, I guess that means beta-testers.

My question is, should I just keep updating, or is the usual procedure to re-install when the final Release comes out? I don't want to spend too much time customizing an install if I will be doing it all over again next month. (That is, if I can resist the temptation in the meantime)

you can keep updating to final from the beta, the repo's will automatically switch over when the final is released

if you can, file Bugs it'll make this release better or the next release

Just make sure you update regularly, because it's one of the updates that 'magically' switches your repo configuration to the one that will wind up being Fedora 11. If you skip updates for a few days, you might miss it. So make sure you update every day and you'll be fine.

(Sometimes there's a bug in an update in Rawhide which makes yum not want to complete the update - in this case, doing 'yum upgrade --skip-broken will usually avoid the broken package and is almost always safe. This should happen less often post-beta anyway.)
