FC1 -> FC2 is a major change. Using yum to do the update is not recommended. However check out the instructions (for upgrading with yum and other useful info) form the following link.

I was hoping to use yum for this and builds and upgrades though. If it comes down to doing another system install/upgrade like any other (ie redhat 8 to redhat 9) then it will still serve the purpose. However, will the updates (ie core 1 updates) still contain the latest rpm fixes or will I have to upgrade every release to get them?
My ultimate goal is to accomplish the following:
Keep a build repository ( for network installs & upgrades) Keep update repository for patches
I want to use the yum in a similar fashion as up2date. Since I am not only new to yum but the Fedora community I was not sure if Core updates were kept updated with fixes even after a new core was released...
I'll just take FC1->FC2 upgrade stuff off this discussion its a separate topic. Each release has an End of Life (check http://fedora.redhat.com and http://fedoralegacy.org)
Just like RH8/RHL9 had updates - FC1 has updates - and FC2 has updates. Check the default yum.conf for listings for the install repositories & update repositories.
Looks like you plan to have both FC1 installed machines and FC2 installed machines on your network. You could maintain local repositories for both releases (including the updates).
However you should configure the yum.conf on FC1 to point to FC1 release & updates repos (not FC2 repo)
