That's all I want (what's in the subject).

I've had some headaches with preupgrade, basically, I guess, because I
have /var on another partition.

Preupgrade randomly fails anyway. Its great when it works but it's a bit
of a russian roulette experience.

1. Make a backup

2. Check your backup

3. Install the fedora-release-* rpms from F16

I found out that sometimes you have to do a "yum clean metadata" after
installing the release packages. Else, yum thinks he's still with the
old version (15 in this case).

I'm going to try it this way. haven't done it since F2 -> F3, so let's
see how it goes.

Just ran yum upgrade --downloadonly, and saw that yum wants to install
a bunch of i686 packages, even though I don't have any packages with
that arch (all x86_64 or noarch).

preupgrade was doing the same.
