Sorry if this is the wrong forum -- if it is, please direct me to the right one.
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!

Since you rent this, it's not yours to upgrade. Consult the owner of the machine! --doug
I did -- he said that it was my responsibility to upgrade the virtual machine. The service they would provide would only be a reinstall of the image of Fedora 16. The bottom line is that I'm give a virtual box and 5 static ips, and all maintenance is my responsibility.

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.

Thanks to Fedora's (IMO: absurd) UsrMove "Feature", this doesn't work smoothly for ->F17 upgrades.
IIRC, there's a wiki page somewhere (on Fedoraproject.org?) describing the nasty details - It's pretty tedious and risky ;)
