That's good news.<BR>
My attempts led to circular dependencies and hours of manual deletions that didn't work.<BR>

speaking of fedora version upgrades: I recently upgraded a laptop running Fedora 11 straight to Fedora 13 using only the yum pre-upgrade process with a wired connection to the Internet (instructions were clear: Don't do this over wireless!). Happy to report it was a clean process and a total success - no user data loss and all system functionality retained. Only post upgrade was to reinstall the libdvdcss from Livna and run a post-upgrade yum update to capture the latest packages from rpmfusion. I was quite surprised and very happy to see this (finally) working properly.<BR>

Ubuntu is to Debian as Fedora is to RHEL.. sort of. <BR>
Except Ubuntu is not an experimental release to test stuff out for Debian <BR>
as Fedora is to RHEL. <BR>
---------------------------------<BR>
People tend to get to like what they want to use. Or maybe it is people are more comfortable with distros of which they can predict behaviour.<BR>
I disliked S.U.S.E. when all I was running was old hardware, and the S.U.S.E. version I had only came on a DVD when I didn't have a DVD drive.<BR>
I may like it more, now that I have some newer hardware to play with. <BR>
The first Fedora I messed with was the very buggy Fedora Core 4. Fedora doesn't version-upgrade well over the Internet, so Ubuntu has been my first choice for about 5 years.<BR>
