[ale] important config. files

[Jim Kinney]

I did an f10->f11 with no problems. It even had rpmfusion multimedia
code. I did not have the f11 rpmfusion repo on _during_ the upgrade so
the multimedia was replaced/removed.

I have not done the f10->f11 yum upgrade. I did the boot cd upgrade.
It was very smooth.

When ever possible, a new install is best for clearing out the cruft.
My big system, however, has been updated since FC2 (or 3?) up through
F9. It is seriously showing some problems (evolution randomly locks
up, etc) and it will get pushed to F11 soon by a wipe and reinstall.

Since hard drives are really cheap now, I'm leaning more to new drive
with new code and old drive for backup/source/archive. Park old drive
on a shelf in a labeled, anti-static bag for a year or so.
