You've actually upgraded by hand across major version numbers older than 7.x enough to say always? That would mean you have done it this way from 5.x to 6.x to 7.x or something similar? There are some major changes between 7.x and fedora, so I don't know if upgrading packages bit by bit while the system is running would work. Apparently yum makes a good go of it though. But back to booting from the cd. The fedora install cd will detect a previous incarnation of redhat, and update the packages for you.
