If only I could get repeatable errors! Rest assured I've been
persistent, but I've never had this many problems when
installing/upgrading a Fedora release. If another Linux distribution can
install and upgrade more easily then why should I persist with Fedora?
How much time would you be prepared to spend continually trying to
update with yum? No offence to anybody, but after persisting with Fedora
since Fedora core 2 I'm somewhat disappointed.
