That's not quite as easy as it sounds, because when you log in to a new version of GNOME (and presumably KDE as well), it will alter the files in your home directory in ways that may be incompatible with going back to the old version. For that reason, I usually create a new user account to log in as under the new OS until I am sure it is working correctly, and only then log in with my normal account on the new OS. These days, I have had very good luck with just doing an in-place upgrade, so that's what I usually do now. That worked with no issues when I went from F10 to F11, and again to go from F11 to F12. --Greg -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
