Installation woes

[Qingwei Zhang]

Hi Ronnie,

Yes, George is right about the installation duration.  I run fedup
overnight to get upgrade. Sure Ronnie, I will help you with the
installation.

FedUP:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp

Please go through the FedUp webpage first, then you will use the command
listed following in section of network of "Preparing for the Upgrade",

$sudo fedup-cli --network 19

and it takes about about one hour to finished at my laptop. Then you reboot
and enter the system upgrade in GRUB selection. once the system reboots,
there should be a new entry in the GRUB menu titled System Upgrade, that is
the time-consuming part, I suggest you do it at overnight time.

Best
Q.

I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I
