Afaik it is advisable to reinstall a fresh clean copy of FC4 instead of
upgrading your FC4Tx box to FC4. Iirc only upgrades from major to major
are officially possible (eg FC3 -> FC4) and not even then a guarantee
for success.

Yum has worked so much better for me that I don't know why anyone would
want to hold on to up2date. Choice is good unless imho the alternative
compared to yum is a nice much appreciated attempt from the early
days :)
