The "Fedora" way is to use the "fedup" (unfortunate acronym).
Basically
this downloads all upgrades, does all the needful things, and then
completes the upgrade on the next reboot. From the man page....
DESCRIPTION
fedup is the Fedora Upgrade tool.
The fedup client runs on the system to be upgraded. It determines
what packages are needed for upgrade and gathers them from the source(s)
given. It also fetches and sets up the boot images needed to run the
upgrade and sets up the system to perform the upgrade at next boot.
The actual upgrade takes place when the system is rebooted, using the
boot images set up by fedup. The upgrade initrd starts the existing system
(mostly) as normal, lets it mount all the local filesystems, then starts
the upgrade.
When the upgrade finishes, it reboots the system into the
newly-upgraded OS.
That is funny ED, its name FEDUP... So I guess in KDE, would that still be
MUON? or is that a Kubuntu thing? Thats what i run now to get updates to
packages, and Kernel here in Kubuntu 12.04 ?
