I too have a half-upgraded system at my workplace, tried pushing a long jump from Fedora8 to edora11 (and i think I fell in the ditch between them). I will sit one of this afternoons and simply reinstall afresh, the only way out, i think.


On my laptop however , I have three partitions "Fedora n" "Fedora n+1" and "homedisk" which has /home/<users> Fedora n:/home/<user>/ and Fedora n+1:/home/<user>/ have symbolic links to the /homedisk/<user>/* This allows me to have an "alomst" trouble-less installs version after version, starting from Fedora-8
