I was planning on using the upgrade option in setup when you boot from
the cd-roms. Bad idea?

I was (maybe naively) hoping to be able to 'yum' FC2 over FC1 from the 
console shell prompt (under init 3) when that time comes. Of course, 
my '/home' partitions and tweaked '*.conf' files would be backed-up, 
first. Not having done this, then, do you have any trepidation in 
doing this when the time comes? 

Does anyone here..I would love to hear from someone who has been 
contributing to this project...feel that this is going to be a 
disastrous approach to upgrading to FC2?
