updating fedora

[JOSH]

I upgraded Fedora 10 to 11, it was a bad move, i had just installed
ispconfig, the upgrade killed my network which was no big deal but it also
killed my ispconfig and who knows what else, and that was a big deal.
ISPconfig is not compatable with fedora 11, As far as i can see there is no
way to roll back the upgrade, I wound up reinstalling whole thing.  So... be
carefull what you wish for; lol dang eh ?

I reinstalled FC9 and this time I tried to upgrade from 9 to 10. It sort of
did the same thing. After I rebooted, I could not ssh to the machine. But
this time I waited all night after I rebooted. And this morning I can ssh to
the machine again.

So apparently it's just a matter of waiting long enough for everything to be
installed. Ittook about 3 hours from the time I first rebooted until it
rebooted itself.
