I'm sure that to use it, you would have to change your sources at the very least. There is a way to do dist-upgrade with yum or apt - there are varying levels of success with that procedure and it certainly isn't officially supported by fedora.org FC-2 and FC-3 use the 2.6.x kernels and thus, quite a bit has changed since FC-1 - if you are antsy, I would suggest that you download the i386 iso's and install (upgrade) from the CD's. I would expect that FC-4 is still 2-3 months away yet. Craig
