I used preupgrade to upgrade my fc10 64 bit system to fc11. The bottom 
line is that it worked. But I have a question and some observations.

Is this the equivalent of an anaconda update. If it is, than this is 
confirmation of anaconda for my environment.

There were a few minor annoyances in the process.
    1) The screen went black because of inactivity - a little bit scary 
for an install process
    2) After installing all of the packages, the machine started 
"finishing" the process for many minutes. It would be nice to have some 
idea of what is happening or some idea of progress. For all that I could 
tell, it was in an infinite loop.
    3) Still too many fc10 holdovers

For some reason, on rebooting it didn't automount my ntfs partitions (or 
at least they didn't show up on the desktop) but it did let me mount 
them by drilling down from the Computer icon. This functionality seems 
to change rapidly, after some updates it automounts, after some it 
doesn't. What is the ultimate planned functionality?
