Hi Brad,

I did the live FC3 -> FC4 upgrade using Yum (not recommended, but I did 
it anyway).  It did work for me, except that it broke the NVIDIA driver, 
NTFS access and LIRC.  I was kind of expecting some minor fixes.  I 
easily got everything working again except for LIRC (which fortunately I 
didn't really use anyway).  Just know that doing an upgrade will require 
recompiling new kernel modules for some drivers.  Keep in mind that I 
did not upgrade a FC3 PlanetCCRMA to FC4 PlanetCCRMA workstation.  I'm 
still using FC3 for Planet.
