Is it possible to upgrade (using yum or anything else) from FC2 (development) 
to FC3 (development)?  Or do I need to start with the FC3 iso's.

I installed the FC2T1 iso's (2/19/04) and ran yum a couple of times against 
the 1.90 development branch.  This is where my machine is now.  Then I
context switched away.

Trying to use the yum.conf that had worked before now causes yum to crash
(of course I have no idea if it would do what i want [->FC3] anyway):

# yum -c yum.conf update
