I had redhat 9 and last weekend upgraded (not installed) FC2.
The upgrade failed. If you have a newer system that can boot
from a cdrom, then you will not have the problem I had, but
if yours is an older machine ... do not expect to be able to
upgrade - go to FC2 install.

Actually, now that I know what was missing after the upgrade I could
have mounted FC2-disc1, copied the files the upgrade process failed
to copy, and (possibly) been able to recover my system ... but, alas
I assumed upgrading would work.
