[PlanetCCRMA] Upgrading FC4 -> FC5

[Julius Smith]

Hi Rodrigo,

I am in exactly the same situation (including the hang during
shutdown).   I plan to do a fresh install of FC5 on a new hard disk
and copy in my personalizations, following the to-do list as needed
that I made during my FC4 upgrade:

http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/mypc/Things_Do_after_Installing.html

(which I plan to update for FC5).

That said, it is also possible to upgrade instead of install fresh.
See, for example,

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq

I decided that the "expected time spent" was longer for the upgrade path.

Julius
