Fedora 12 Constantine --> Fedora 13 Goodard via preupgrade

Français


La transition de Constantine à Goddard via preupgrade s'est effectué avec succès. Le plus important est de définir la taille de la section /boot à 500 Mo afin de faciliter le processus. À cause du bogue dans le paquet xorg-x11-drv-wacom, Le stylus ne fonctionnait pas sur la tablette (Tablet PC), une mise à jour en utilisant le dépot update-testing a reglé ce problem. En tout, le système est operationnel sans encombre. De plus, la nouvelle version de gnome-shell est tres fluide et utilisable.
