</div>I would compare preupgrade with other ways of installing Fedora.<br>
I don't experience any long pauses with any other of the several methods<br>
I have used (PXEboot, USBstick, hard disk install, etc).<br>
All seem to keep me quite well informed about what is going on.<br>
Is there some reason why preupgrade should be different?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Preupgrade is relatively new. I assume that it's on a learning curve. </div><div><br></div><div>Robert.</div><div><br></div>
