[fedora-india] Upgrade to Fedora-15 failed

[Ashwin Mansinghka]

Hi Kamalendu,

I *was* also confident like you after using Redhat 6.0 to Fedora 14 
since Feb 2000.

I faced the exact problem.

Solution - Create some free space on the Hard Disk and install Ubuntu 
and softlink the home directory under fedora to home directory under Ubuntu.

That is exactly what I have done.

I still have the Fedora in the same state, if anyone still wants to 
help, I am still game, but this email I am writing on Ubuntu.

Just for info, I use LXDE on Fedora and also on Ubuntu. So in case some 
one wants to help be sure that you have a upgraded (from 14 to 15) 
working copy of LXDE on your machine.

with Regards,
Ashwin
