upgrading to Fedora 11 (x86_64) problem

[Atsuko Crum]

Thank you for your information.

None of Fedora 11 packages are installed when I tried to upgrade 
yesterday. The Fedora 10 installation is intact except the grub 
installation. That is what I expected because the last screen was 
displayed immediately after I chose "update boot leader configuration".

I used this DVD image to upgrade HP Proliant successfully. So anaconda 
skipped the whole upgrading process on this server puzzled me.

I am thinking about trying to upgrade using yum when I have a chance.
