Be warned, however, that preupgrade requires more than 512MB RAM (I
think 768MB is enough).  After the reboot, the system hangs if there's
not enough memory.  Rebooting again brings up the un-upgraded system.
The yum upgrade should work without booting to an installer, so should
work in limited memory.
