I suggest that if you are giving advice
you should say as clearly and as fully as possible
what the user needs to do,
regardless of your opinion of their intelligence.
Ah come on Timothy. For heavens sake. You are supposed to be smarter
than what you are doing. All of this information *I* found by reading
about it. Some of it here. Some of it with Google. And other sources.
And what? You want a complete list of instructions from me.? Then go
here. That's what I did. First Google hit "Fedora Preupgrade" on the
first page.
Fedora Preupgrade
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+to+use+PreUpgrade
And it should be *obvious* that since Fedora 11 has not yet been
released that Fedora 11 should *not* be offered as an upgrade option.
Why are you trying to make this difficult?
