I'm running 32-bit F9 with only 1 partition.. The lack of a separate

upgrade to F11 or should I reformat and create 2 partitions before
installing F11 from scratch? If I install from scratch I could switch to
64-bit which would be nice. I would prefer to install/upgrade from DVD.
Unless you are testing things and really want to find all the
incremental upgrade bugs lurking in the corners, why not just let the
install DVD do a clean install from scratch? Backup anything you care
about and tell the install DVD to "use whole disk" and let it go hog
wild.
That is what I did with my first install. Unfortunately I was (and still
am to a large degree) a complete newbie when it comes to Linux. (I am
much more familiar with OpenBSD.) Since I did not realize I needed to
create 2 partitions (system,boot) before installing, I created only 1
partition and now, I can not use the preupgrade option. What you
describe is what I have been planning to do if I don't come up with a
more attractive alternative.
Thanks,
