I have never had any success with preupgrade so have sworn off it. Instead, I have used yum following the instructions at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq#Fedora_14_-.3E_Fedora_15 It was effortless this last time around. It appears, however, that you would like to use XFCE instead of G3. In that case, why not do a clear install from the F15 LiveCD XFCE spin?
