No painless way to do an update from FC1 to FC2. Best bet is to do a clean install, next best is to do an anaconda upgrade; however, if you want to give it a shot check out threads like... http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg06795.html Particularly note the link to Seth Vidal's page. To keep up to date (relatively) painlessly after getting FC2 running, use the yum update service in cron - available in some versions of yum - or add a crontab entry that does "yum -y update". up2date and apt-get are also options, but IMHO not as good as yum.
