Hi there I'm trying to upgrade fedora from 16 to fedora 17 using preupgrade. I've used preupgrade before to go from fedora 14 > 16 with no problems. I'm an experienced user of all types of distros. but this is starting to piss me off a little. :dis:
What my prolem is that I have the upgrade packages downloaded but when I restart the option in grub doesn't show up.
After initiating the "df" command after a preupgrade failure to upgrade to Fedora 12. There is want to delete all of the files downloaded but this individual is not sure where to proceed. The "locate preupgrade" has not been helpful.
