Good summary. Anyone wanting to install you really need to scan through
this :-
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/What_is_New_for_Installation_and_Live_Images.html
Notes about disk labelling and differences in mysql so may effect my apps.
New install on a test server had no problems. It looks like I will do a
new install on my main server to ensure a clean install (though will use
a new disk so I can dual boot F9). Will try a laptop next.
