Last nite I attempted to upgrade from Fedora 8 to Fedora 9 and it seemed a good way to try something different.

Following the howto is straight forward and soon my system was being upgraded.  Unfortunately there came along a power outage and when power resumed, my system started up and was booting Fedora 8.  Many errors as the system was being installed when this all happend.  Now I am upgrading via an install disc I had created awhile back.

I for one will not do the preupgrade thing again.  I will just get the source or the image and upgrade my system that way and know that it will be upgraded correctly and not tempt fate.
