fedup

[Richard Vickery]

I'm doing another install because I lost access to the computer while
attempting to find the mouse touchpad - another issue that I want to
solve - and find that F19 doesn't ship with fedup; why not? It's so
useful.

while you typed this posting you could have
also done "yum install fedup<ENTER>"

there are many thousand packages not installed
as default, that's why yum is installed, finally
the only things that need to work and be installed
is networking and yum

Slightly OT, but can Fedup be used to install Fedora-20 beta 
when it comes out?
Or can it only install F-20 itself?

Yes, it can be done right now.  There is one catch at the moment.  You need to add deltarpm=0 to yum.conf for it to be successful.
