I'm posting this from a Fedora 9 desktop. I had some issues upgrading before, but I did an install of Fedora 8 (after a quick battle with openSUSE 11 KDE Live CD) and burned and printed DVDs for Fedora 9 on both x86 and 64-bit arches...
Rather than try preupgrade again, I just did the Anaconda upgrade with the DVD.
Turns out the problem I was having with the monitor going out of sync was because my xorg.conf file was using the "vesa" driver, rather than the "nv" driver or "nvidia" driver... weird... vesa should *always* work. Changing it to "nv" got me up and running.
I still have the NetworkManager circular dependency issue.
Oh, and I think I understand why distributing an SVG of CD artwork is desirable. I can import to the GIMP at whatever resolution and dpi that I want... in this case a 4000x4000 pixel image at 1440 dpi, rather than the default 480x480px, 90dpi... much better printout. Might actually be time to contribute some instructions.
Looks like the cups server is all foobar too. Damn. Did I say something like, "I'm going back to Fedora because of the easy printer configuration"? I hope not.
