I saw that there was a fedup upgrade in updates-testing; it has been there for
some time.
I installed the updates-testing version of fedup on my desktop, and then proceeded
with an F17->F18 upgrade.
why are you doing this?
there is a reason why it is called "updates-testing"
usually you be happy if fedup / preupgrade works
and use EXACTLY this set if you have another machines
I do have other machines; in fact the one that I'm using to reply here.
Much thanks.
One of the frustrations here, is that the
base of subscribers on users@lists.fedoraproject.org is incosistent in its
replies. I've posted at least two requests on this subject.
There have been few, if no, replies. I've tried to find other sources as
to the timing/availability of fedup, requesting the same on
users@lists.fedoraproject.org; no guidance forthcoming.
I would like my third machine to be consistently setup on F18, in line
with the other two that I have.

All required packages have been download (about 4100).
I've rebooted (per instructions), hit "System Upgrade" on the GRUB menu.
I then hit <ESC> so that I could see the messages to the screen instead of the
thermometor reading (it's in the
FedUp Wiki page).
It's now at: upgrade-re[712]: starting upgrade-pre hook
It's been at this point for some time; the harddrive like is flickering away
throughout.
My question is, how long should I expect this processs to continue before I get
Upgrade[712]: Preparing for upgrade ...
if it takes longer than a hour it will not finish
