Hi Jessee,
I have been following a few of these threads and there is something
that I have not seen addressed. My current machine, like a lot of the
ones out there, is a mix of spins. I have both Gnome and KDE loaded.
I also run Samba as the PDC for my house (yes the kids have to log into
a domain), and software development tools, and a web server, etc.
If I pick some spin, say the Gnome desktop spin and run upgrade mode,
what will happen to the KDE install and the other packages not covered
by that DVD?
Will I be left with a system part way between FC6 and FC7?
If I have to load just one spin and then add in the other RPM's manually
I would request that a mechanism be set up to facilitate figuring out
what
I need to load. A straight compare of what RPM's are were on the FC6
machine
and what is on the new FC7 machine may or may not be a working deal.
