Moving from Rawhide to F11

[Brian Vuyk]

Over the last two months, I have been running rawhide on my main 
machine, testing and filing bugs. Not that I had a ton to do. Maybe I 
missed a lot, but the system was generally very stable and useable the 
whole time.

Now that we are approaching the launch date, is there any way that I can 
move this system to F11 from Rawhide? Since I've been using this system 
for so long, and I have everything set up just the way I like it, I am a 
little hesitant to completely reinstall from fresh F11 media if I can 
avoid it.

I imagine it is mainly a matter of changing the repos. Are there other 
components I am not thinking of? Is there a list of what the F11 repos 
will be, so I can update them?

Thanks for all the hard work on F11 guys - you rock!

Refer

# yum update

Verify that the repositories have been switched over with

# yum repolist

Change nothing. It has already been done for you if you have updated all
along.

type in a terminal:  cat /etc/fedora-release

Rahul is one of "you guys". Me? I am just a lowly long time user.
