First, if you can not get F10 Live-CD to boot you may be bucking up
against insufficient installed memory. Other possibility is
incompatible graphics card or incorrect graphics card detection. Make
sure that the system has 512 MB of memory (bloating requirement for
all Gnome and KDE desktop installations since Fedora Core 6). If you
do not have or can not install a minimum of 512 MB of RAM then do not
bother with installing Gnome or KDE. Use XFce desktop or a run text
only.

Second, no point in doing an upgrade of FC2. Go straight to and
perform a new install of F11 over FC2 . Too much has changed between
kernels, file systems (LVM and ext4), and applications (Xorg-x11, open
office, Gnome, KDE, etc.) since FC2.
