Don't upgrade. Instead - backup, format and reinstall.

FC4t2 works fine for me, gcc4 compiled everything i threw at it, with
the exception of a few apps that were using too lax coding styles (and
those compiled fine after cleaning up the code).

After seeing so many cases (dozens, literally) when people upgrade and
get screwed, i'm amazed that anyone still thinks that an upgrade is a
wise thing to do.
