Hi:  I just used preupgrade to go to F17.  No problems seen yet with the 
result, but I have to run an F16 kernel and nvidia kmdl because no 
matching F17 kmdl exists in the repo.  Currently 3.6.11-4 fc16 x86_64 
with 304.51

I did have problems some time ago when I tried 304.64, so stayed with 
304.51.

According to the nVidia site my hardware now ought to be on 304.84, and 
the F17 kernel I have is 3.7.9-104.

Any suggestions about how to move forward gratefully received.
