How to upgrade Fedora Core to the next version
Upgrading most systems is a hassle, how ever with Fedora core its just time consuming. Here is how in a few short steps you can upgrade your version of Fedora to the next version
Note, You must have root access to your box, and you must upgrade in order. For example, if you are at Fedora Core 9 and want upgrade to Fedora Core 12, then you must perform this operation to get to Fedora 10, then from Fedora 10 to 11, and so on.
