I would advise against it. But there is no harm in trying -- just to see what happens. :-) With alpha and beta releases, anything other than a fresh installation may give odd results. If those odd results are then reported back, they could possibly send Connie and Troy off at a tangent, trying to fix something that should not even be considered . . . Putting it another way, I would not consider it appropriate to "yum update" from an alpha to a beta release, nor (ultimately) from a beta to general access release. Alan.
