I rent a virtual personal server in another city that runs Fedora 16. I want to upgrade it to 17. I did the yum-based preupgrade and such, but am stuck. The instructions I read said to reboot and then choose upgrade at the boot screen.
Since this is a network machine that has no boot screen, I need to tell the box to upgrade in some other way.
Is there a way to to a yum upgrade over the network without seeing a boot screen?
Thanks!

On the VPS I use, there's an option to connection to "the console" from the virtual control panel. I can login to the CP and from there connect to a virtual TTY. I used it extensively when I was installing CentOS there.
