Hello All!
Since Fedora 9-Preview completely unuseable for me I decided to step
back to F-8. Thus far I know abount the only solution - backing up
/etc/ and /home directories and reinstalling F-8 but maybe there are
some ways to downgrade to previous relese and updates.
I did a downgrade from Fedora 8 to RHEL-5 (FC6 fork). While it needed a
lot to be done manually (sorry I don't remember details, roughly it was
like:
rpm -q --qf '%{name}\n' |xargs yumdownloader
rpm --force -Uvh *.rpm
I hope you can figure out what can get wrong, and hopefully F9 is not
that different from F8 as RHEL5 is from F8.
Another one note - since FC-4 of FC-2 I never updated to next
release
w/o errors and things tends to be more worse than earlier. Looks like
it's doe to lack of testing combined with lack of comminications
within community (if such a community exists at all). Take a look at
the fedora popularity trend compared with other distros popularities.
Feel free to grab testing release and test as much as you wish.
