Upgrade from FC7 to FC8 test3 via yum

[Arch Willingham]

There was a comment on the site that said "Tip: Find and review "lost" packages. You can find orphaned packages (ie packages not in the repositories anymore) after the upgrade with the tool package-cleanup from the yum-utils package yum install yum-utils; package-cleanup --orphans. It's often helpful to run this command before the update, too. "

I guess I should have left out the install part.

all of that looks fine.

though I don't know why you install yum-utils twice . :)
