As an extension of this: is it possible to upgrade a Fedora 10 install to Fedora 11, by using the Fedora 11 DVD as a local repository ? This would save me (and also lot of other people who do not have fast Internet connections and/or with time-capped Internet subscriptions), a lot of bandwidth and time (and $$). (As a 'by the by', I also prefer the Fedora 10 theme & artwork ('Solar' theme) over Fedora 11's). Thanks, Jay -- Fedora 10, Ubuntu 9.04 (i686)
