I'm testing.  First experience was bad - just updated and then logout/login.  
Pretty much locked up the machine.  Had to force reboot.  This means the upgrade 
path may not be possible - might have to wait for F16.

After reboot, seems to work on wired at least.  Haven't tried wireless yet.

In case of disaster, what is the procedure to downgrade (assuming I can get a 
network connection somehow)?
