===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'.
