Fedora 8 upgrade/install

Please note that this is my experience on upgrading/installing fedora 8.  This is not a walk through on how to set it up.

Anyway last night i went to upgrade Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 (I had not actually booted up into 7 for a month). The upgrade seemed like it froze and checking dependencies so i just figured I would do a fresh install since thats usually what i do with operating system upgrades. After installing Fedora 8 I went to sleep and ran the updater before heading off to work this morning. Most of it is pretty smooth right now but I have a few problems, im trying to install nvidia drivers from the livna repo but I am getting some errors with dependencies at the end. I also installed amarok, boy does that thing have a lot of dependencies, im using gnome and it needed a bunch of KDE things. Hopefully i can figure out these driver install issues.
