PC #4, my oldest and slowest, is now running F12!
Gnat in ointment: I could swear I told it to upgrade existing
(and got suspicious when it let me "customize now"), but it didn't.
However, that machine and all it had were expendable.
What's more, that same DVD-RW, now in my Thinkpad T42, is
installing F12 again. It also just offered me the customization choice
-- and wouldn't let me go back, except by terminating the install; but
again, its data was expendable.
It did do a complete install -- but it evaporated all of my
tweaks and data, including even my innumerable choices of apps to install
or remove, on the T42 as well as on PC #4.
I tried it in PC #3, which is *not* nearly so expendable, and
noticed this time that when it gets to partitioning, one choice is to
"replace existing linux installation" -- which might mean putting either
an upgrade or a fresh install into the space now used. What became of the
choice we used to have??
Btw, I also find, every time I hit the partitioner, it refuses to
let me increase /boot beyond 200 MB.
