I've had pretty good luck upgrading by one release, however on 2 different
boxes that I've been from FC1 -> FC2 ->FC3->FC4 are horribly messed up, I'm
in the process of doing clean installs on these systems after givign up on
ever getting them to run right again.  I used the cd's and did an upgrade
installation, not sure if using yum would produce different results.
