    Err, that was a mistype there. It's apt where you have to "update",
    then "upgrade". WIth yum, "update" will do it all.

    But yes, after FC2 is released you *should* be able to point your
    "/etc/yum.conf" file at a FC2 repository (it's currently pointed at a
    FC1 repository) and issue "yum update"...and after many minutes of
    churning (and probably a reboot) you should be running what is basically
    a FC2 system.

    Because of the larger changes that occur between releases (relocated
    config files, software compiled with different support, wide-scale
    changes like SELinux), you may have to sort out some things manually,
    though. I recently upgraded one of our RH9 machines here to FC1 (in
    prep for the RH9 EOL) using this method, and I remember a few things not
    quite working right, due to an RPM present in FC1 but not in RH9 not
    being installed...got this ironed out pretty quickly with a Google
    search (turns out a lot of people had the same problem I did).
