Upgrading to Fedora Core 4

The one PC that I still have left (all other machines have been replaced with Macs) is a dual boot between Windows XP and Fedora Core. Fedora Core 4 was released a few days ago, and today I upgraded from Core 3 to Core 4.

The first step, of course, is to download the disk images. This is about 3 gigs of data, and thus takes a long time, even with a fast connection. The FTP sites are always way overloaded when there is a major relaese, so I used BitTorrent instead. That worked pretty well. I just let it run overnight and ignored it.

So far the installation is going pretty well. However, the "Time Remaining" keeps going up rather than down. I am getting tired. I may have to write more on this later...
