Subject: fedora 10 beta ==> current rawhide

Dear all,
I have gotten a new machine and I installed Fedora 10 Beta
and currently updating it to current rawhide 1.3 GB of
updates are coming in currently. I formatted the root
partition ext4(used ext4dev). Last time I tried that, I
could not boot to latest kernel, I am asking if I should
change the /etc/fstab to ext4 because the one that I had
before had ext4dev and the newer kernel(s) had ext4 only.
Should I change it now that I can and reboot and boot into
the newer 2.6.27.4-5??.fc10 kernel?
I could not submit smolt profile since the machine was not
on the network. I manually assigned an IP to get the
updates. Tomorrow in the morning I will see what happens.
Thanks for advice/suggestions offered.
Regards,
Antonio
BTW:
before the snapshot issue comes up, I cannot get torrent
files. I can only get the releases from mirrors. I wanted
to try a network install, but the documentation is not
current and I do not want to ask for a nice howto that might
not be available.

I am online with that machine :)
It is working nicely and updated to latest packages! ext4 is working nicely. I just
changed ext4dev to ext4 and it worked!
