For the sake of future searchers to nobody in particular I note you can also use yum to upgrade to a new version of Fedora. I've done it by meddling with the URLs in /etc/yum.repos.d/ but you can maybe do it cleaner by installing fedora-release package from the new version, which should set up /etc/yum.repos.d/* to point to the new repos. After that a yum update should be comparing what you have already to what the new version has and downloading accordingly. -Andy
