I've done many upgrades and they've usually been fairly painless. You need to go through the upgrade.log file that anaconda leaves behind and make sure you merge configuration file changes when necessary (where it refers to creating a .rpmnew or .rpmsave file). You should also bear in mind that an upgraded system will not result in the same system that a freshly-installed one would deliver (e.g. use of lvm2). Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
