This is offensive.
How do override it? I've *got* 13 on most machines, and regret it
all day, every day. I ever tried preupgrade to F 14 beta -- in vain. It
preserved the misery I'm trying to escape.
The only two real problems I have seen with FC13 are video (if you have Intel,
ATI or Nvidea other than the latest use vendor drivers or vesa mode), and the
endlessly denied bug involving trying to use the network after suspend before
the network is restarted. Removal of NetworkMangler and custom network scripts
will fix that.
All can see left is to revert to 12, if I have to DBAN each
machine and install 12 from scratch; make sure it's right; and preupgrade
to F 14 in November. But I seem to have deleted both my F12 ISO and the
DVD I had burned of it.
I have had much better luck doing an upgrade after booting an FC13 install DVD.
I'm 5 of 6 for that, 1 of 3 for preupgrade. In general a reinstall is better,
and setting up to allow that during initial install makes that fairly painless.
