I know this may seem a little Out There, but I have a very comfortable and (amazingly) fully functional Fedora 7 test release 2 installed. Does anyone know if subsequent test releases, and the final distribution release install via yum updates and/or pup, or will it be necessary (particularly with the final F7) to do a new iso download?
BTW: there doesn't seem to be anything really awesome or stunningly different about F7, other than core/extras is all one, and they got rid of that hideous dna/bubbles theme.
tnx -O.

You can just use yum to update to the next test release or the final version when it comes out. If you are going to upgrade to the final version using yum, you need to install the fedora-release package for the stable version and disable the yum development repos.

Cool. Thanks for the note about the repo change, too. I hadnt thought about that, although i'd've probly figgered the final release dl was needed to get regular updates, fetched the dvd iso and never have been the wiser.
Ah, well. Gotta admit tho, fedora puts out an eerily stable alpha test platform. The only hiccups i've had is a one-time X lockup during logout of a non-privileged user account (my grandson's), and having to hand-build the xorg.conf file to utilize the proprietary nvidia-drv rpm from Freshrpms (the ~.run borked).
