- Install preupgrade (yum install preupgrade) - Run preupgrade GUI (preupgrade-gtk.py) - Confirm that the next Fedora appears in list of available versions * May require a commandline flag to show non-final releases to test with Beta - Choose 'Apply' - Confirm that packages are downloaded - Process should complete with no traceback - Reboot system and choose 'upgrade fedora' from boot menu - System should start installer - configure network, keyboard, etc. * Network is still required for installation! - Choose 'upgrade' - Check anaconda log to confirm that packages are being pulled from on-disk cache - Reboot into installed systemSweet, should be nice to try.
