Upgrade from FC7 test2 to test3 is a sort of no go (I think?)

[Arch Willingham]

I tried upgrading a FC7 test2 machine to a FC7 test3 install. It got to he point where it
asked if I wanted to upgrade the boot configuration. I told it yes...it churned for a few
seconds and then you saw it update two packages and then asked to re-boot. I fired it back
up and trued running the upgrade again...this time it upgraded no packages.

I'm sure upgrading from one test to another is not supported and not encouraged. Its
not the end of the world...just an FYI.

I was thinking of trying this on a test machine.
Three questions:
1.  Did the resulting system boot?
2.  Does /etc/fedoracore-release look like test2 (6.91) or test3?
3.  Does "yum update" look like it is getting test3 updates?

1. Yep...its boots just file
2. /etc/fedoracore-release says "Fedora release 6.92 (Rawhide)"
3. Before I tried to upgrade, the package updater was wanting to install 131 +- packages
(I assumed that what was on the FC7 test 3 DVD was the most current release thus it would
not yet be popping up asking to update the same amount of packages after a successful
upgrade). After I did what I thought were failed updates, it was still asking me if I
wanted to update 131 packages so I while ago I told it to have at it....its updating right
now.
