Where did you 'get' the preupgrade.
From the F8 repos, the ones with the newkey designation.

Fedora would never 'force' you to use Rawhide. Although it kicks the poo, IMO, out of Fedora 10. Many changes and improvements. I run Rawhide all of the time anyway.
Well, maybe with 120 updated packages which it is installing now, (this is since the rawhide upgrade) the x problem _might_ be fixed. We'll see.
I'm beginning to feel like Ric, somebody just shoot me & be done with it.
Thanks David.
Update, yum dumped out, complaining that kdegraphics-lib was needed by kdegraphics-extras-7.3.5.10.fc8.i386, and when I tell it to install it anyway, returns the same error. removed it, took nearly 2 minutes! I suspect the cpu is running at powersave speed, I haven't heard the fan in ages.
But now the rest of the update is errored out, first bitch is about curl, but it looks like index.bz2 is contaminated. If I remove it, it takes about 40 pieces of kde with it. Yum clean all, wash rinse repeat, can somebody bring me a beer?
Now its going to grab about 100 drpms. First time I've actually seen that work. Hope it does.
But I'm still puzzled, confused and wandering around in a fog. Surely rawhide didn't get 120 new packages in the last 2 hours???? Explanations welcomed. And I still need that beer. :)
And that didn't work. How can I force yum to overwrite /usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz from the fc8 install with the f11_x64 version?
Its also bitching about all the x86_64 stuff conflicting with the i586 stuff from kde-4.2.3. Is there a force option for yum now? Not according to the man page, crap... Burning F10 dvd if I can get my drive to recognize it has a dvd-r blank disk in it. Yup, recognized the 2nd disk, so its off to the races.
Why the hell did I even think about pulling that lappy out and putting it to use? ATM, I can't think of a reason that justifies all this hell.
