When you install, FC4's installer will detect a prior installation on your computer, and ask you if you want to upgrade or reformat and do a clean install. when you pick update, it will copy only those packages needed to make FC3 turn into FC4, retaining all your data without erasing :) If you don't want to burn to CD, you can do a hard drive install, although I'm not sure how that would be done, I've never done a HD install before, and I'd like to do that for upgrading to FC4 so I don't have to waste precious CD-Rs. Can anyone enlighten me on how I'd do a hard drive install/upgrade to FC4 when it comes out? Jared
