The next 'yum update' now lists a whole bunch of files coming from repo 'updates-new'. Is this normal? Will the system still be usable if I install all these updates from 'updates-new' repo? </blockquote> </blockquote> Of course 'preupgrade' is supported. Look here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PreUpgrade">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PreUpgrade</a> And after completing the whole process all the way from F7 up to Fedora 10 everything is working fine. My "Is this normal?" comment was about seeing all the F9 updates coming in from the "updates-newkey" repo. That didn't look normal. And as clarified in a later post, that was due to a security incident that occurred which required new repo keys. Regards, Gerry </body> </html>
