Re: Yum update from Fedora 14 -> 15 WARNING! UPDATE

So to confirm, what is the preferred method to upgrade? I usually update daily, so in F14 most likely I'd have the latest and greatest updates when I decided to move to F15. Do I just  need to bite the bullet and do a clean install? On a clean install is it safe to keep your /home partition and only update the / partition?
