FC4 upgrade to FC6

[Philippe A.]

I have FC4 installed and want to upgrade to FC6. I popped a tested FC6 DVD
in the drive and started the install. It stalls at the stage where package
dependencies are examined. The progress bar does not even change. My hard
disk does not even spin.I will try various workarounds, for ex removing KDE,
even though FC6 installer is silent about that. Anaconda used to be picky
about KDE in the past. Is it still the case? I may also try upgrading to FC5
then to FC6 if its what it takes.

Another small problem I have encountered is the following. My fstab had a
very old reference to a swap location that no longer exists. It also
contained a valid swap partition, listed right after. When Anaconda spotted
the invalid swap partition, it popped  a clear error message about that
(along the lines of "/dev/hda6 is an invalid partition"). I was forced to
reboot, take that line away and restart. I think Anaconda is a little lazy
when looking for a valid swap partition, but I am forgiving.
