I saw that there was a fedup upgrade in updates-testing; it has been
there for some time.
I installed the updates-testing version of fedup on my desktop, and then proceeded with
an F17->F18 upgrade.
why are you doing this?
there is a reason why it is called "updates-testing"
usually you be happy if fedup / preupgrade works
and use EXACTLY this set if you have another machines
All required packages have been download (about 4100).
I've rebooted (per instructions), hit "System Upgrade" on the GRUB menu.
I then hit <ESC> so that I could see the messages to the screen instead of the
thermometor reading (it's in the
FedUp Wiki page).
It's now at: upgrade-re[712]: starting upgrade-pre hook
It's been at this point for some time; the harddrive like is flickering away
throughout.
My question is, how long should I expect this processs to continue before I get
Upgrade[712]: Preparing for upgrade ...
if it takes longer than a hour it will not finish
