I tried upgrading a computer which had three installations on it. (Two fedora, one another vendor) The installer did not give a prompt where you could choose to upgrade any of the existing installations. Therefore, I wiped the third party installation and reformatted the partitions where that istallation was. Is the upgrade facility in the installer gone or broken? (At least on the computer that I tried.)
Inability to update in test1 is cited in the annoucement email that went out. which also refers people to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5Test1CommonProblems
I therefore referenced the release notes to find out if this was an intended behavior. I did not see any notes to this being the case.
Please understand that the release-notes are a living document with the aim to encode the important information for the final release and not ncessarily all the important information that a tester of the test releases needs. It can't contain all the short-term problems with the test releases. It's important to read the annoucement notice for test releases as well, especially for last minute gotchas.
I did notice a reference to slocate and it is not even installed. Running locate works though and no configuration was needed,
slocate was replaced by mlocate. The release-notes may need to be re-worded a bit even though the instructions in that section are still valid. File a bug against the release-notes.
