Upgrading's fairly easy. When you install, FC4's installer will detect
a prior installation on your computer, and ask you if you want to
upgrade or reformat and do a clean install. when you pick update, it
will copy only those packages needed to make FC3 turn into FC4,
retaining all your data without erasing :)
If you don't want to burn to CD, you can do a hard drive install,
although I'm not sure how that would be done, I've never done a HD
install before, and I'd like to do that for upgrading to FC4 so I don't
have to waste precious CD-Rs.
Can anyone enlighten me on how I'd do a hard drive install/upgrade to
FC4 when it comes out?
