The way that the live CD installation method works, there isn't any possible way to do an upgrade; what happens is that we dd the filesystem image from the live image over and make it the root filesystem. This works less well for upgrading :-) You can run anaconda by hand as /usr/sbin/anaconda --method=http://some.site.com/with/a/fedora/repo --graphical --selinux if you want to do a more normal network install (and thus get upgrade capability) rather than the live CD install method. But at that point, you're about as well off to just download the boot.iso to start your upgrade from. Thanks for the quick feedback. In that case, documentation on how to upgrade is _seriously_ needed. I will proceed with a network upgrade instead. Possibly a link to starting anaconda as a network upgrade would be in order on the LiveCD? |
