The upgrade option worked for me.  However, one thing do is have a 
separate /home partition so that personal settings can be saved.  I also 
have /downloads ans /source partitions to keep data for use with the new 
upgrade.

I also used "custom partitions" and did not format the /home, /downloads 
and /source partitions.  The rest of the drives were formatted resulting in 
an new installation but keeping the settings.  Been on it for two days now 
without any MAJOR problems, just the usual problems when "updating" a new 
install with yum (dependencies).
