Hmmm, that doesn't seem such an excellent choice :-)

It works exactly as I was hoping for :-)

Smart fix I can do, but it will remove all remaining fc4 packages. For most of 
them there seem to be no replacement yet (or I don't have those repositories 
installed yet).
I'll wait a while with the smart fix option until most packages are available 
for upgrade as most of them still work even though they are for fc4.

Thanks for your effort !
