Be careful if you use Compiz, something with graphics or something else breaks it. Causes artifacts to be left over and other display issues. Not sure yet all details, but heads up. 
Also hear Gnome 3 users are having display issues especially using Nvidia cards.

How to upgrade Fedora Code (FC) 24 to FC25:

Note: as of FC24, Fedup is dead, it's been replaced by

dnf-plugin-system-upgrade package

see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp (states the transition to dnf )

Hi Mark,

My shop FC24 computer updated with only one incident.
After it rebooted from the update, boot would only
proceed up to "Starting switch root", then stop at
a flashing cursor.

Not to panic, <ctrl><alt><f2>, log on as myself,
and "startxfce4" and everything is back to normal.

After about four hours, I checked back with
<ctrl><alt><f1> and the cursor was still flashing.

So, I have time to figure it out.

I saw that on one machine, left it and it completed, upgrade was running
but not displaying anything.
