I bought the F17 DVD from OSDISC.com whose disks have always worked

while waiting for a replacement I came up with the following scheme to
install F17. I booted the F16 DVD up to the point where is starts the
check the  medium. Then I switched the DVDs so the F17 DVD would be
checked. It checked out fine. After the check it jumped to the expected
GUI to choose a language.

So now the question. If I continue with the install using the F17 DVD
will it successfully boot as F17? I am going to try this tomorrow but I
will not waste my time if someone has a good reason to think this will
not succeed. 
That is a bad idea as the anaconda configuration will not be for Fedora 17, and Fedora 16 to 17 involves some Linux install location changes that may not be handled properly.
