Step 1: Update Conary configuration files
Run the command
sudo sed -i 's/fl:2/fl:2-qa/g' /etc/conary/config.d/foresight
Step 2: Check if installLabelPath has been changed properly
conary config |grep installLabelPath
Make sure it says foresight.rpath.org@fl:2-qa and foresight.rpath.org@fl:2-qa-kernel
Step 3a: Switch to the QA version from a full DVD install
The GNOME DVD by default installs group-gnome-dist=@fl:2 to your system.
You need to 'sync' the group to the fl:2-qa branch.
sudo conary sync group-gnome-dist=@fl:2-qa
'Conary sync' will keep any packages you've installed by yourself.
Step 3b: Switch to the QA version from a GNOME lite CD install
The GNOME lite CD installs group-gnome-lite-dist to your system.
You need to 'migrate' to group-gnome-dist=@fl:2-qa. This will uninstall any and all applications that are not installed by default in the new group, so you might want to create a list of the applications that you need to re-install after the migrate.
sudo conary migrate group-gnome-dist=@fl:2-qa
Now it's done.
Step 2:
This should maybe NOT recommend editing the system conary config `/etc/conary/config.d/foresight' but instead edit the USER's <HOME>/.conaryrc which will override the the defaults anyhow.

Isn't step one actually unnecessary because the first command in the second step does that anyway?
If so, removing it would save a lot of time/confusion.
