That's what I was after: reality. And reality is that at least fifty 
percent of all users are fed up with fedup.

Now then: I set myself up as a "sudoer." (That is, I'm a member of group 
"wheel" and can issue "sudo" commands.)

Why does the method you linked to, recommend using the "su" method, that 
is, "becoming root" with every single command?

Do those commands not respond to "sudo"?

FInally: I sense that I don't really have all the written commands. 
Should I use the fedora-upgrade script?

Thanks.
