you can NOT expect that a F16->F18 upgrade will do USrMove better

uninstall unused crap to reduce the amount of your setup
"package-cleanup --leaves --all" is your friend to find out
candidates and using it more than once after uninstall packages
will show you new candidates (dependencies which are no longer
needed after the last mremoval)

this way i uinstalled several GIGABYTES on many systems and
all is still running fine

this is no argumentation

there are many really cheap UPS-systems if you are live in a
country with a missing modern infrastrcuture and even in modern
countries it is always a good idea using a UPS

why?

you can stop the upgrade while downloads are running
and continue at any time



"download everything" -> uninstall unused crap to reduce it
