So even if f20 is brand new, you at least live with it for a while before the next update. Plus i got to find a bug with NVRAM update with my Lenovo x120e which is now an RFE for f21. If I had been on f19, might not have caught this, or had a bigger struggle to get them to realize that the NVRAM update should be the LAST step of the installation, not so early, so if it fails you still have a bootable install. I got some good help to get things working. > A thought: have you considered trying to install dual boot with the > current CentOS?
