If you install the release packages it should take care of the fedora
repository stuff for you.

fedora-release-7-3.noarch.rpm
fedora-release-notes-7.0.0-1.noarch.rpm

You can do this as part of the upgrade, just before you run yum upgrade
from FC6.  Use
rpm -Uvh
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-notes-7.0.0-1.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-7-3.noarch.rpm

Order is important as the release has a dependency on the notes.

This link tells you how to import the GPG key and set up livna if you
want it.  Do this before the upgrade as well.
