Choosing A Webhost:

wrt yum - you can have the following in /etc/yum.conf (with appropriate mirror)
----------------------------------------------------------
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=fedora-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
[fedora-dev]
name=Fedora Development(rawhide)
baseurl=http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/i386
----------------------------------------------------------
And run 'yum upgrade'
You might want to back up the current yum.conf - and make sure there
is plenty of free space in /var (or use different location for
'cachedir')
As of today - there are no conflicting packages in rawhide. But if
there are, you can add the following line (assuming you know what
packages to exclude) to /etc/yum.conf in the main section.
exclude=pkg1 pkg2 ..
'yum -d4 upgrade' usually gives more info on the conflicts - which you
can try and decipher to indentify the packages to exclude. (usually
the conflicts get fixed in a day or two - but then - those updates can
have new conflicts)
