Which package name should be use when Fedora 9 release and I upgarde my Fedora 8

[Wong Kwok-hon]

Hello!

I used yim to upgraded from Fedora 7 to 8 for two days ago because of
Kernel "device remap" problem and the problem don't happen in Fedora
8.
If there is a better way to do that from Fedora 8 to 9. I would choose
this preupgrade first because yum seem slower.

By the way, I saw the author page said the package is not in test now
and planning to make some improvement.

My PC just for internet, watch video and listen music only... So I may
choose preupgrade...

Regards,
Wong Kwok Hon
