    This is a test system, nothing of value on it if the upgrade does
    not go, but I still want to get this working.

    For switching the repositories:

    rpm -Uhv
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/<ReleaseNumber>/Fedora/<Arch>/os/Packages/fedora-release-*.noarch.rpm


    ReleaseNumber is 11?
    and
    Arch i386?

    I used those values and got something like (copying this from the
    test system):

    Retrieving ftp:....
    curl: (78) RETR response: 550
    error: skipping ftp:....  - transfer failed

Did you rule out using the preupgrade? (sudo 'yum install preupgrade', and then 'preupgrade') It's really simple, and worked great for me on 3 separate systems. It downloads packages and then runs anaconda after reboot.

Did not see anything about preupgrade on the wiki, I was jsut following orders :)

So I tried the install of preupgrade and found it already on the system. So now it is running....

And I do not have enough disk space in my /var partition....

GRRR now what? This is a EeePC with a rather small drive. Install, not upgrade time?
