fc7 Fedora 6 7 upgrade completed and im mad

The upgrade has left me high and dry.

Disk check revealed no errors on the DVD. So i just went about upgrading from FC6 “Zod” to FC7 “Moonshine”. The upgrade stopped at an OpenOffice xslt file. So at 1:30AM, i’m left with a system that is neither Zod nor Moonshine.

Then i started the Moonshine installation series.

2:00AM – Started the first Fedora 7 installation.

3:30AM – i wake up to see that its stuck, saying that “Bud Buddy” has a problem with the RPM file. Ok so start again without selecting Bug Buddy

5:30AM – woke up to find that “JADE” has the same problem. Restared without BugBuddy and Jade

7:30AM – Problem with KDEAppExtras. Closed the installation and wet for the Bangalore’s bloggers meet

3:40PM – Started again and this time everything went fine, just that i forgot to specify the /home and /usr directories.

NOW – after much tweeking, i find that i’m almost back in business

How do i feel using Moonshine? It definitely feels faster on my ThinkPad and looks cool too. Lets wait and see what all fails. icon smile Fedora 6 7 upgrade completed and im mad Rating for Fedora “Not-so-Moonshine” 7 -s3h Fedora 6 7 upgrade completed and im mad

    We upgraded redhat9 to Fedora 6, then the machine almost hangs everyday. So I installed Fedora in an IBM machine, again the machine needs reboot everyday. I think starting from Fedora 6, their released packages are really problematic. The yum always creates problems and the software upgrade manager cannot be execute inside KDE. Just use few words to conclude “desperate” & “frustrating”
