Hello All,
Is it possible to upgrade versions using apt / yum ? I use synaptic
and when I 'refresh', only packages for the present version are
listed. However I have desisted the idea of setting higher version in
repositories list as upgrading might be lot more than just installing
newer version rpms

I understand your question about "upgrading" as asking about changing
from one Fedora Core distribution to another as in FC2 --> FC3. If
that is the case, you may be able to find something through Google that
describes a procedure for upgrading a system through an ftp conection.
Upgrading through synaptic might work, but I don't think
synaptic/yum/up2date are designed to do that.
I am no expert, but I think downloading the isos for the later
distribution you are interested in and then choosing the upgrade option
for installation would likely be a safer route than trying to do it
through synaptic. Since "upgrade" is offered as an installation
option, the task was anticipated and designed into the installation
program (anaconda).
FWIW

I think you can do it with apt-get -f dist-upgrade
