    Hi folks,
      

      Pretty much as the subject says, I guess...
      

      I can't seem to find the definitive (or any) answer on the web
      site.  The 'Upgrading Fedora using yum' section goes through the
      necessary steps using dracut.  I'm assuming these steps are not
      required before running preupgrade in F16?
      

      Thanks,

        Well
        I successfully upgraded to Fedora 17 using the net install
        method from a bootable USB flash

        drive, so that definitely handles the directory rearrangements.
        The only problem I had was there is no

        Radeon Catalyst driver for Fedora 17, and I had to revert to the
        Gallium free driver, which involved

        some changes being made from the command prompt before the GUI
        worked again. Finally I also ensured that Grub was re installed.

            The preupgrade is one of the methods recommended for
        upgrading so I would expect it to work, but I've never really
        felt happy going down that route.

            Whatever you choose to do, I wish you a trouble free upgrade.
