I recently got my system wedged without having good notes about what
happened. So I figured that the simplest path to getting back to a
running Rawhide was to install minimally FC6 and change the repos to
select development (should extras development be enabled?) and then do
an update. I did that and midway through the 1000+ package update the
system rebooted leaving me scratching my head wondering if I should
distrust this approach or just reboot and try again with another update
and hope for the best. I did the latter and have been beset by weird
behavior ever since. Like checkbox buttons not echoing properly on GUIs
and non elf format conflicts in some bin programs and libraries.
If you have a high speed network connection, you are probably better off
booting from the rawhide boot iso and doing a network install. (Unless
you specifically want to test upgrading.)
