    Check the list archives. There are a couple of messages on how to upgrade
    from earlier versions of RH/FC. They involve copying select files from the
    FC distro CD to your /boot partition, updating your boot loader, and booting
    into the installer from your hard drive. Note again, this only works for
    upgrade, not a clean install.
