I would like to install Fedora 8 Test 3 to help testing new Fedora version. I know it could be less stable that final, but it's not very important me. Later, I would like to upgrade it to F-8 final (without a new installation). Would it be possible to use updates from a development version and after 9 XI smoothly switch to updates for F-8? Or the only way is to call "Upgrade" option from F-8 DVD?
If you install now, and then do all your updates, the fedora-release package will turn off 'development' and turn on 'fedora' and 'updates-release' repos. These repos right now redirect to rawhide until F8 goes live and then they will point to F8. This will "pin" you to Fedora 8.
