here's the current situation if anyone wants to suggest tests.
i
have my two gateway MX7120s installed with fedora 11 alpha -- one with
i386, the other with x86_64 -- virtually identically (about 1550
packages on each).
the first difference is that, at the end of the install, when i
rebooted, the i386 install rebooted cleanly while the x86_64 install
flashed a screenful of kernel diagnostics on its way down, but it
still booted cleanly coming back up again. not sure what that was all
about.
at this point, before i do *anything*, should i take note of the
current setup in any way? suggestions? my first step would be to
update the yum/rpm packages but, to do that, i would first update
"fontpackages-filesystem" since its original packaging conflicted with
"rpm-build" which i installed, so my proposed first step would be:
# yum update fontpackages-filesystem
# yum update rpm\*
# yum update yum
does that make sense? but even before i do that, i'm still open
to
what i should record in terms of current config.
thoughts?
Do I understand correctly that these are *not* updated to current
Rawhide yet?
If so you would probably need to do the x86 and x86_64 updates in small
stages. Rawhide x86 was rebuild from i386 to i586 recently so I would
think that most, if not *all*, of the packages installed would be an
'update' on the x86 install.
That would hold true for the x86_64 install too for the x86 packages
installed there.
Good luck.
