Comments on How To Upgrade Your Desktop From Fedora 7 To Fedora 8

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I used this command on my x86_64 platform:

rpm -Uvh ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/fedora-release-8-3.noarch.rpm ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-8.0.0-3.noarch.rpm

(in one line) 

I,ve tried to upgrade my system using your article, but I have more errors than you had.

Should I remove every packages which cause the errors. Maybe I could omit them somehow.
