Use the Live CD to "try out" distributions.
Download and burn the DVD, and use that for installations.
This seems to be true with Fedora. Each distribution seems to work a little bit different, but the live CD's seem to be good for trying them out without changing what is on your current hard drive. Just don't "Install" if you want to test! Fedora seems to install "best" from the DVD.

The live CDs install just fine. ...
Well, the f10liveinstall cd didnt work for me, ( see f10 liveinstall cd trashed my main fc5) trying to install to one particular partition, sdb6 it instead somehow clobbered my main fc5 partition sda1. undoubtedly mostly (entirely?) because of my own very limited experience re installs.
Are there guidelines for using the install option?
It seemed to insist on using LVM. Can this be prevented?
Not sure, but it might also have been trying to set up separate /boot partition? If so, can that also be prevented? if it insists on that, I wasnt prepared for it, having only sdb6 i was willing to give to f10.

I wrote about this the other day but I don't recall ever seeing it show up.
First: A Live-CD *does not* install separate packages. A Live-CD writes itself to your hard similar to the way you burn an ISO to a CD.
It will *erase your harddisk* and then write itself exactly as it is. You have no choices of anything.
You boot the CD. You are looking at the OS running from memory. You decide to install it to your harddrive so you click the install icon. It formats your drive and writes itself to your drive. Exactly as it is on the CD. You reboot, answer a few questions and you are basically done.
And *whatever* was on the HD before is gone. Period.
The size of the CD it limited but they have put what most people would need. Anything else you install from the online repos.
All of that aside I would seriously doubt that you could update a Fedora Core 5 install directly to a Fedora 10 install anyway. Too many years and too many changes. If you do a fresh install the has been updates since the Fedora 10 Live-CD was made. Probably another CD full of them.
Hello! can anybody bring me some help, pls? No problem with Gnome (sound is ok), but I'm trying to test Fedora 10 XFCE. The problem is that I can't make the sound work. My Thinkpad is mute!!! Pulseaudio is active in the autostarted scripts/applications section. When I open the Volume control, after half a second, a popup window appears over the volume window, and it says Connection failed: Connection terminated, then closes with no more hints. Can anybody help me? (sound chip is ESS ES1938 Solo 1). Thanks in advance!

Two things:
1) Do not hijack threads. Your message has absolutely nothing to do with the Subject line. If you want to introduce a new topic, start a new thread. Note that changing the Subject line is not enough in itself. You should compose a new message instead of answering an existing one.
2) Do not post to this list in HTML.

Dos cosas:
1) No sequestre los temas de conversación. Su tópico no tiene nada que ver con el mensaje al cual está respondiendo. Cuando tiene un tema nuevo, comienza con un mensaje nuevo en vez de contestar uno existente. Ojo: simplemente cambiar el Tema no es suficiente. Tiene que ser un mensaje nuevo y no una respuesta.
2) No envia HTML a esta lista.

Well, FC5 is long out of support, that's what you get for waiting so long until you finally upgrade. (Hint: you're supposed to upgrade at each or every other release, not wait 5 releases and then install in parallel, still keeping the totally outdated version.)
