Upgrading

Our biggest problem with upgrading is that it is not always clear when a 
test distribution has been changed.  This is especially true with things 
like release candidates.  We tried FC3-RC2 and found that installing 
additional packages on the upgraded system caused a crash in anaconda. 
This appears to have been fixed but it is hard to tell from the 
numbering.  I suggest that any posted directory contain a readme file 
that says something like "This is FC3-RC2.01".  Increment the number 
after the decimal every time a package is upgraded or replaced.  This 
will make it obvious what the level is.  If an upgrade hasn't yet gotten 
posted to a mirror this will show it.
