Hi,

I upgraded using the deltarpms at http://lesloueizeh.com/f8/i386/fedora
it took me about 2hours and there it was my new shiny fedora 8.
This is the bandwith-friendly way ;)
I had absolutely no problems going that way (except the normal strange
behavior of applications getting updated while they are running).
