	That url is the "troubleshooting site" I meant. I've tried both 
ways. The first fails because I can't get enough cruft out of /boot; the 
second, because my installer never pauses to give me the message it's 
supposed to. I've tried deleting the filler both before and after.

	I have 
$ rpm -q preupgrade
preupgrade-1.1.3-1.fc11.noarch
and 
$ rpm -q anaconda
anaconda-11.5.0.59-1.fc11.i586

	(I did the bit with temporarily enabling the extra repo and 
updating preupgrade.)
