trouble with f17->f18 update

[Neal Becker]

If you use --enablerepo=kde-unstable,kde-testing

on f17, expect trouble when updating to f18.

I used fedup, which didn't complain, but left with a system where kde wouldn't 
start.

You might want to use yum distro-sync before running fedup.

I don't have kde-unstable,kde-testing enabled by default in /etc/yum.repos.d.  
Perhaps if you do, fedup will use it and then you won't see this problem.

this is a generally problem if you have ANY testing-repos used
and not enabled due upgrade - do not do this!

two options:

* do not use testing-repos at all
* enable them due upgrades

I wasn't sure if enabling them during upgrade would avoid the problem.

So what best command for using Fedup?

fedup --network 18 --enablerepo kde-testing

and I had a working kde environment after the upgrade.
