How does one identify these 20 issues? I'd like to look them over on my FC2 
server before starting the upgrade process. (I plan to clone the disk and 
upgrade the clone. Call me paranoid. ;))

My practice is to copy the DVD ISO to the HD and then use askmethod to 
point the installer at the image on the HD. This has worked well for my 
desktop FC4 system. The only problem there was my very unusual grub setup 
(triple-booting WinXP, FC4 i386, and x86_64 from one FC4's /boot 
subdirectory). It took a little manual cleanup to get my grub setup working 
the way I wanted, after upgrading both partitions. And I haven't yet got 
the nVidia driver working. But I haven't looked at the latter problem very 
hard yet.
