So I decided to try fedup using the network install option. Spent most of the day downloading over 2700 packages (I have a whole 1Mbps link, woohoo), rebooted, selected the System Upgrade option, then sat watching the Fedora logo fade in, fade out, fade in , fade out, ... with no sign that any progress was being made. Is this right?
Anyway, I lost patience and hit ESC to see what was happening. The console showed an error message from dracut-cmdline about KEYTAB being deprecated. A Google search shows that this error dates back to September, with the latest BZ update in October, but does it actually matter? Who can say? I stared at the console for a few more minutes and nothing whatsoever seemed to be happening, so I rebooted. The System Upgrade option had now vanished from the Grub menu, so I booted into F17 and re-executed the fedup line. And it started downloading about 1390 of the packages all over again. These are packages that are *already* in /var/lib/fedora-upgrade. How can I avoid wasting even more hours on this? Is there no way to tell fedup where to look for the new packages other than the network or an ISO file? poc -- 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 Have a question?
