FC(n) -> FC(n+2) is not so well tested... I wouldn't think of doing it at all. An upgrade just from one level to the next is an iffy proposition. Just one bleep or bloop on your net-connected massive yum session might leave you crippled and broken past the point of reasonable recovery. Ordering a set from one of the software houses is almost as cheap as buying blank CD's. Or, ask one of your friends that use Fedora to send you copies. That's what I did! <chuckles> At least you'd have the tools to recover with and could install from the CD's, if the upgrade fails. YMMV, but I'd prepare in advance for catastrophe. Most guys that have an upgrade session fail will report almost a week's worth of work to recover. I did that once, never again.
