That's unfortunate to hear. =[ I just used fedup last night and all went well (for the most part). The only two real issues I ran into (that were easily resolved) involved a shared library missing that my Cisco AnyConnect client used. Resolved that with a yum provides and installed the missing package. Then, Google Chrome wasn't launching due to a missing shared library... fixed that with a yum reinstall. Since then, it's been running without any issue. Oh, and the nVidia drivers took a bit to install due to nouveau being loaded, but again... no big deal. I'd recommend fedup, but I'd also recommend allocating extra time to resolve issues that arise. (Which, imo that should be assumed when doing any upgrade.) Better luck next time, if such a thing exists. :-) -Andrew On Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 10:36 AM, Brian Wood <woodbrian77 at gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 12:51 PM, Brian Wood <woodbrian77 at gmail.com>wrote: > >> Andrew Dahl: >> >> > Oh nice! >> > >> > I used to forgo preupgrade and just manually do it through yum.
