Fedora 17 was released a little over a week ago, and as the Fedora project leader put it, there are an unusually large amount of new features in this release. There’s a great mix of new stuff for everyone, from developers to everyday web-browsing users.

Hi all,
I tried to upgrade F16 to F17 with preupgrade, but now I have the following problem:

linux /upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade repo=....
initrd /upgrad
