Re: Force to update to f10, but yum can't bring it into synch.

So I assume then that my command line to install grub again would then be:
grub-install /dev/sdb ?

it seems odd that you would have it set to /dev/sdb and grub as (hd0,0).
It shouldn't hurt I would think if you did grub-install to both /dev/sda
and /dev/sdb. Most modern BIOS allows you to pick the boot order of the
various drive types.

I will probably hit a package that does this eventually, I have it processing
the updates displayed about 1 yumex screen full at a time, and so far that
hasn't triggered a dependency storm. That knocking sound, yeah, you know what
it is.

package-cleanup --orphans will give you a lot of guidance on packages
that it can't update.

I have tons of self compiled stuff here, and will again shortly. The
radeonhd
driver supplied with the dvd is so slow I can repaint the screen with a 2"
wide paint brush faster.

in theory, that shouldn't have any impact on upgrades IF you put the
compiled stuff in /usr/local

[root@coyote ~]# glxgears
1628 frames in 5.0 seconds = 325.495 FPS
1636 frames in 5.0 seconds = 327.036 FPS
1635 frames in 5.0 seconds = 326.821 FPS
1573 frames in 5.0 seconds = 314.521 FPS
1455 frames in 5.0 seconds = 290.819 FPS
1521 frames in 5.0 seconds = 304.192 FPS
Which surprises me, it feels a heck of a lot slower. Moving firefox an inch
to the left takes about 10 seconds as it redraws the whole screen about 50
times doing it.
It was doing about 900 before I broke it. And I could move a screen as fast
as the mouse moved. Sigh.

get the updates installed first. You might find that the rpmfusion fglrx
package is more to your liking though I wouldn't think that there would
much of a performance difference between F9 and F10 w/r/t radeonhd but
then again, I'm not using it.
