Thank you; this is very helpful.
My hope is to upgrade; that way I don't have to change/specify partition topology,
But that takes a couple of minutes - or you could use the saved kickstart info if FC2 saved it back then. Or install on the existing partitions.
and hopefully only minimally adjust the existing configurations.
And the part that matters should be in a dozen or so files in /etc. Save copies, diff/merge anything you don't understand well enough to do from scratch. Another few minutes.
I have enough experience with unraveling rpm package dependency/duplication issues, having gone through F14->F15 DVD upgrade that failed/froze (in the end I worked with the "rescue" portion of the DVD and unraveled duplicate/missing package issues using yum and rpm; you can find that thread on the Fedora Users list).
So you know that can take a long time to get right... I don't see the point of even considering it.
