It's one of the less desirable facts about Fedora. The approved method
is to reboot using an install disk and then choose "upgrade". So it
might be hard to do this without physical access.
Actually all those troubles are documented. :-)
I know because I have updated using yum since FC-4. This works quite well
for the n -> n+1 jump.
I've tried this, too, and it might be OK for aussie, if it weren't that
we were so far behind at this point. The problems I've had have mostly
had to do with extra packages being left lying around, maybe because at
that time I was using rpmforge packages quite heavily. Now that's
basically dead, from what I can tell, and I'm using livna, so I'm hoping
future upgrades will be less painful.
