On the whole, testing so far indicates yes, but of course upgrades are
always a bit varied.
I don't know if this has changed yet, but when we were testing RC3, just
using the above command would use the upgrade.img from Beta. You had to
use a couple of special parameters to get the Final one. Both generally
seem to work, though. This will change whenever the redirects fedup uses
to find stuff get changed.
I ask since I tried it and while things seemed to go well I was left
with a couple of problems.
1. No F19 kernel installed. Fixed by "yum distro-sync" after needing
to erase and then re-install firefox.
Er, firefox and the kernel would appear to be different issues. The
kernel one I know about: it's simply that since F19 has been frozen for
so long, F18 has a newer kernel in stable. The latest F19 kernels are
still only in updates-testing. When the 0-day updates push happens, this
will be resolved.
2. On boot, I get the messages.... about themes not being
found.....
Still boots fine, but annoying to see.
That's
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975800 . It was
supposed to be fixed by grub2 -22 but somehow it isn't. 'yum install
grub2-starfield-theme' will give you the theme, if you want it. If you'd
rather have the F19 default of just console mode with no theme, add a
line:
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
to /etc/default/grub and do grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg .
