In summary, "Venting while I wait" is a process used during an upgrade from Fedora Linux to Fedora 21 using the fedup tool, allowing users to express their frustrations while waiting for the process to complete. To use fedup for the upgrade, open a terminal and enter the command "sudo fedup-cli --network 21" and follow the prompts. It is not recommended to use your computer while the upgrade is in progress, and the time it takes to complete can vary. If the upgrade fails, you can generate a log file using the command "sudo fedup-cli --network 21 --debuglog=fedupdebug.log" and seek help from the Fedora community or technical support.

Early this AM I ran fedup with version 0.9.0 r2.fc20, the latest. It ended with a number of unresolved dependencies related to kernel and kmod-nvidia video driver. OK, I waited until 1800 CST and ran yum to hopefully resolve the dependencies. Good, they were probably resolved, I haven't compared the files manually yet. But FEDUP 0.9.1-1fc20 also arrived! Darn.

So now I'm waiting on the gurus to tell me what to do when THEY change horses in mid-stream literally. Arrrgh! I have already had one glass of wine before supper, but I sure want another one.
