Upgrading F16 to F17 from DVD is one f*cking mess. Seriously.
Backup your data and do a fresh install. It will save you a lot of
time and hairpull.
the yum upgrade as described works perfectly
not all users have plain setups where you can easily
do a fresh install, this works not well if you have
customiized many configurations of many services
and that is why a distribution with a new release
each month should be much carefuller in context of
upgrades than fedora does
