You should be able to use the installer media and add repositories to 
install from, using the installer options.

Livna updates should be unbroken once you run yum update after the 
upgrade. I never tried the installer using external repos as sources 
yet. The installation that I tried was not on a network. I did see the 
feature when doing a clean non-networked installation. It looked 
straightforward.

For upgrades, I'd assume that it would do similar to what I described. 
It would install the fedora release package, use the existing 
repositories as references to grab packages from. It would then use the 
$releasever information set to FC6 and successfully complete an upgrade.

That is supposing their logical scheme is in line with what I would 
expect from an installer.

For the yum upgrade method, you should be comfortable working with rpm, 
yum and any conflicting situations you encounter. It should work though. 
The yum upgrade worked for me. I did have to query for help after the 
upgrade and the list help solved the problem I encountered.
