Help Reverting Rawhide

[BeerFreek]

Hi guys,

I tried to install Rawhide to enable me to install KDE 4.6 but I installed everything so now I can't boot....

I tried syn distro witl reales=14 but doesn't work

I have three kernel one F15 the others F14

but none work....

Is it possible to fully revert or only a fresh install ?

Thank you

I think you have really screwed up your install, reinstall is your only option as you haven't got the required skills needed to downgrade.
You should learn from this mistake and use F14 repos only :p

let me guess, he used the -y switch when he upgraded?

[BeerFreek]

well I-m blaming only myself....

you guys will start to know me by my stupid mistakes, but I learnt something today :)

now, I have

/
/boot
/home
swap


Can I just format
/boot
/

and reinstall ? or will do I need to do anything to not loose /home ?

Thank you guys

easier just to reinstall the lot from scratch

That should do it, how much RAM do you have?

[BeerFreek]

I have 2GB

Swap is around 5GB (I read it should be at least twice the size of RAM) but why that question _

1Gb is enough for swap for you, I don't bother with swap with my 8Gb of RAM.

Ok cool, now I have disk partitioned like that I'm leaving it...

The repos you posted for KDE has only 4.5.5 is there a safe way to install 4.6 ?

Thank you for all your comments, and I managed to reinstall now... and kept /home directory (pretty easy)

You can now close/delete thread if you like.... but first just let me know if RPMFUSION are really down (can't download) or is it just me ?

what RPMFusion repo's did you Add? did you reinstall F14 or did you install F15?

[BeerFreek]

I installed F14 and I am trying to add the RPMfusion repo from website
ie.

http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/14/Everything/i386/os/repoview/index.html


And It just doesn't download either the graphical install or the command line....
