Live upgrades are not recommended for production box. Backup your system and data before attempting anything mentioned below

New pulseaudio and flash packages must be installed manually:

Code:

yum groupinstall sound-and-video (if you are using Gnome)
yum install kde-settings-pulseaudio (if you are using KDE)
yum install libflashsupport

The Fedora 7 avahi packagage fails to uninstall; remove it manually with

Code:

rpm -e --noscripts avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7

On 64 bit machines (x86_64) you may have to remove some 32 bit libraries. For example dbus:

Code:

yum erase dbus.i386

You may find it easier to use the yum shell to stack these commands in a single transaction:

Code:

yum shell
> erase dbus.i386
> update
> run

A lot of KDE packages are no longer multilib in F8. If you are on x86_64, you will need to erase the i386 versions of these packages by hand, like so:

Code:

yum erase kde{accessibility{,-devel},base,edu,graphics,multimedia{,-extras},network,sdk,utils{,-devel},webdev}.i386

Various other packages including Beryl are no longer in F8 and not obsoleted:

Code:

yum erase beryl\*
