I had no problem. I upgraded RH9 and FC1 to FC2. Don't try it with
apt/yum, that caused me problems (fortunately, I made backups). Upgrade
with the images, either CD or Hard-drive method, and then you should be
all set. Oddly, on both machines, I had to reinstall xorg-x11-libs
before X would work. I blame the name change, but I have no evidence, or
in fact, reason, to do so. But that was all it took, and I'm up an
running.
