Check the list archives.  There are a couple of messages on how to upgrade 
from earlier versions of RH/FC.  They involve copying select files from the 
FC distro CD to your /boot partition, updating your boot loader, and booting 
into the installer from your hard drive.  Note again, this only works for 
upgrade, not a clean install.
