Yay folks!

Will it from today (Release day of Alpha) also be possible, to test the upgrade from F14 to F14 using preupgrade?

If yes, will it be needed to download some releasinfo-files from web to get it the right way?

Thx,
Roger

Preupgrade only works with released versions, you'll have to wait until then.

Roger,

I was able to install via preupgrade. Use

su -c preupgrade

Then, enter the root password when prompted. Once the Upgrade your system dialog displays, click Forward, then turn on the checkbox to Display unstable test releases. That should unlock the option for Fedora 15 (Lovelock).

Have fun!
