Hi,
Tried fedup on my laptop; it would not reboot to finish the
installation. I re-installed the 21 spin and tried it again and on the
first reboot GRUB did not show fedup. I rebooted and fedup finally
showed on the GRUB screen. I selected it and since then (about ten
minutes ago) the screen has been blank.
I just gave it a retry and was able to boot 21 again (surprisingly)
, so I tried fedup once again. It seems to me that fedup does not play
nice with dual-booted machines. I also tried fedup it on an old machine
in the basement, and it seemed to work just fine right up until it told
me I didn't have enough space. I have pulled out gparted and will give
it another go.
As I was getting ready to send this, fedup finished and I got a GRUB
screen with the fedup option again. Once again, I selected it and the
screen just blanked.
All of which makes me think that fedup and its wiki page, need some
attention, at least for amateurs like me.
Thanks,in advance for hearing me out.
