The problem is that getting my desktop machine back its original state

To be honest, backing up system and personal configurations, then
re-instating them on a new system takes less time than doing an update
and trying to resolve all the differences and problems that crop up
between releases.
Sorry for the late response but I was doing an upgrade to FC6 from FC4
and I will agree. A couple of the computer people here said they had
done it with no issues. Boy, I shouldn't have listened to them. Three
days later I was finally running.
Maybe it would be a good idea to create a document or script on how to
speed up the upgrade. Such things as scripts to check and compare RPM's
installed and migrate configuration files to the new system.
I won't do an upgrade again. A second HD for the new OS from now on.
