I am trying the procedure at the link below right now on a FC4 
laptop.  It's a method to upgrade from FC4 to FC5 via yum. So far, 
it seems to be working well on a fairly clean FC4 installation.

One nice aspect of doing it this way is that I only have to 
download 710MB of package updates, as opposed to 5 CD-ROMs 
stuffed with packages that I don't need.

Has anyone on this list tried the following method?
