Here's what I did 
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg05948.html.  Just 
follow the prompts and choose disk, ftp or nfs.  You would have to stage 
your ISOs in say a /home or /var partition before the reboot.

In both my updated sysmtems kudzu said it found a new keyboard.  Hint 
Hint there is no new keyboard.  Based on the errors reported at first 
boot, I then made this change to /etc/X11/XF86Config
# comment out as per bug 121016
#       Option      "XkbRules" "xfree86"

I then made this change in the /etc/modprobe.conf file based on 
something I saw on the mailing list.  I am sorry I that I don't have a 
reference for you.  Look at the pcspkr stanza.  You will have to compare 
this with your configuration and make adjustments.
# install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install 
sound-slot-0 && { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| :; }
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe pcspkr && /sbin/modprobe 
--first-time --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { /bin/aumix-minimal -f 
/etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }

Along with the this change you will need to upgrade libgnome.  I updated 
all my packages.

This has worked for me so far.

I hope this helps.
