It will take a lot longer, and you will not get the new supporting files like translations etc. You need to say "yes" when asked to advance to etoys 5, "no" when asked to load newest packages. Then update again, this time you can say "yes" to the newest packages.]

Oh, and news from the dev meeting: Peter packaged Etoys 5 for Fedora. If you give it karma after testing, it should become an update soonish:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/etoys-5.0.2406-1.fc17
