A backup of your data is always a good idea. Also refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PreUpgrade#Troubleshooting
That url is the "troubleshooting site" I meant. I've tried both
ways. The first fails because I can't get enough cruft out of /boot; the
second, because my installer never pauses to give me the message it's
supposed to. I've tried deleting the filler both before and after.
I have
$ rpm -q preupgrade
preupgrade-1.1.3-1.fc11.noarch
and
$ rpm -q anaconda
anaconda-11.5.0.59-1.fc11.i586
(I did the bit with temporarily enabling the extra repo and
updating preupgrade.)
