If only yum worked after booting from a rescue DVD.

I tried updating using yum in stages, (yumex actually using
networkmanager). Unfortunately this eventually crippled networkmanager,
and inittab 5 boot. The later I got round by creating a desktop file to
and started gui from inittab 3, (to KDE).

I have updated using this method from Fedora 10 -> 14 successfully. As
Fedora 8 -> 10 was KDE 3 -> 4 I did a fresh install.

Currently akmod builds fail on boot, and it eventually hangs. I've tried
a variety of boot options to no avail.
