Well, the upgrade by DVD fails because of a bug I think. The F8 dvd upgrade 
fails on all my systems and has already been reported my many to fail, it 
just spins forever at checking dependencies and seems to use 100% CPU time.

Running the upgrade via the net seems to work but it also seems that ATrpms 
currently has some issues from here. Sometimes it's available and sometimes 
not. Anyway, I will try until I have all packages in. I believe it will work 
since yum manages to resolve all dependencies fine.
