| To upgrade via yum the short version goes like this:
|
| 1. backup all your data 2. upgrade yum to yum from fc3 3. upgrade
| fedora-release to fedora-release from fc3 4. make sure all your
| repositories point where you think they should point. 5. run yum
| list updates - just to make sure things seem sane and working 6.
| make sure you are NOT in X and X is not loaded 6. from a terminal
| prompt run: yum upgrade 7. wait wait wait 8. you must reboot before
| using your system again 9. reboot the system and make sure you
| select the new kernel, not the old one(s) 10. once your system is
| fully booted you may want to install some additional items.
| Recommended: yum groupupdate "GNOME Desktop Environment"
|
|
| let me know what problems you encounter.

And, please, where do I find the fc3t3 repository.  I will test this
on a PC I have in spare.
