====know how to force a reinstall of a kernel====
:yum reinstall kernel isn't doing anything
:you need to re-run the scriptlets

===Upgrading f20 installs with yum to f21===
*Dennis Gilmore 09/24/2024  IRC
"I have updated a few machines by running "yum --releasever=21 install
fedora-release" then "yum distro-sync" and not had any issues. As I
understand this thread it is soley about what to do in the case of
using fedup only. in which case we need to setup some things in
mirrormanager and do some testing and see what happens. note that we
may not be able to use the fedora-install-21 prefix as the install
trees all have a prefix already assigned"
