===f16 DVD Upgrade to F17===
  −
*Using f17 Beta i386 DVD
  −
*'''You must do  "yum upgrade" after DVD upgrade finishes, and you log back in, for Sugar to work properly'''
  −
:this is a big Update
  −
DVD upgrade of F16- to F17 requires yum update on Reboot to complete  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808961
  −
DVD upgrade fixes the login but files are not updated from new repos correctly?
  −
when you upgrade from DVD, you're getting the packages from the DVD
  −
you don't get all the latest stuff from updates-testing.
  −
so it's quite normal that you get newer packages immediately with 'yum update'.
  −
it's just like when you do a fresh install from the DVD and then immediately have new packages with 'yum update'.
  −
