...was pain-free. Well, almost. The prep work for Fedora's latest version, Constantine, involved backing up important files and freeing up space. Like my move from Fedora 10 to 11 , I used PreUpgrade (I' didn't want to do the yum upgrade route -- it was too much work for something that should be trivial by now). Reading through the common F12 bugs was helpful since I got an overview of what to expect. After backing up my files to the nearly depleted 500-GB FreeAgent Desktop drive, I cleaned up /boot : $ df -h /boot $ curl -O 'http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/misc/kernel-prune.py' $ chmod a+x kernel-prune.py $ ./kernel-prune.py # PKGS=`./kernel-prune.py` # yum remove $PKGS # tune2fs -r 0 `mount | awk '/\/boot/ {print $1}"` This involved trimming off the unused kernel versions still in /boot and adjusting the reserved filesystem blocks in that partition. It's safe to set the reserved blocks to "0" for /boot . (I've previously allocated 2...

So I ended up focusing on the feed itself. I've already set up a Feedburner feed long ago, when it was still *just* Feedburner and hadn't been eaten up by the Borg^H^H^H^HGoogle. I can add the feed URL as a link meta in the header, but that's...
