Andrew, Thanks for the tips....
I got the new up2date and up2date-gnome packages installed.... Then I tried to get the rest of the packages...
Once again it just hangs completely during the dependency check. I was able to get some of the packages individually, or in small groups ....
I got all the XFree86 packages in one go, and that sort of thing. Over all, the process of getting the updates was excruciatingly painful, going through many, many iterations of running up2date... waiting an age for the list of package headers, waiting an age for the dependency checks, the actual downloads were very quick and the installs were OK....
Except, for every package it downloaded it said "Package already downloaded", but the progress bar continued, and I could "see" traffic being downloaded by the lights on my LAN switch
It hung when I tried to get the cpp package by itself....
I got the rhgb package installed... I did get the new kernel updates and after that decided I should reboot the machine then get the rest of the packages....
When I rebooted, graphical boot up did not work (it worked prior to any updates)
kudzu recognized new hardware (which there wasn't any really, but I guess it was new to it... the touch pad on my laptop) after which my USB mouse stopped working.
Now when I try to use up2date, I eventually get the list of available packages, but I can't get any of them.... it just hangs after I select any one of them and press "forward"....
I think at this point I'll just wait until Monday Nov 3 for new ISO's and I'll try again from scratch, then I'll just enter new bugs....
I look forward to seeing how the GA release installs on my IBM desktop.... FCT3 dies a miserable death on that machine now.... yes, I reported the bug and provided logs etc etc, the proverbial "nothing unusual there, that shouldn't happen" oh well, that's why it's called BETA code... :-)
"See" you next week. :-)
Cheers, Don

I got the ISO images for FCT3 and installed it on two machines....
The laptop install went "OK", but the update utility doesn't work, it hangs during checking dependencies etc.
The desktop install fails miserably.... choking big time with rpmdb fatal errors during the package install.
Question is... are there newer ISO images I can d/l and try again?
No, just go get the newest up2date and up2date-gnome packages from rawhide. You may be able to update those packages if you do them ONLY, before anything else. If not, get them ftp and install manually. After that you should be able to update the rest (known bug).
Thanks, Don
