Quoting Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx>:
Preupgrade used to be quite limited in capability, and restricted to
a single version upgrade at a time. I have some systems I would
rather not upgrade by hand if possible, but they need to go from
fc13 to fc17, and I'm sure doing it insteps would take more effort
on my part than a single step and some fixup. I noted that
preupgrade offers to try to go to to fc17 in a single step, but it's
not obvious if it's kidding me or itself.
Downtime should be minimized, so it's worth at least considering.
Any experience?
I've done something like that up my current (so to speak) F14. The
only glitch I had was a small boot sector that wasn't adequate after
about two stages. There's a workaround but it was scary the first time.

If all the advertising in the world were to shut down tomorrow, would people
still go on buying more soap, eating more apples, giving their children more
vitamins, roughage, milk, olive oil, scooters and laxatives, learning more
languages by iPod, hearing more virtuosos by radio, re-decorating their
houses, refreshing themselves with more non-alcoholic thirst-quenchers,
cooking more new, appetizing dishes, affording themselves that little extra
touch which means so much? Or would the whole desperate whirligig slow
down, and the exhausted public relapse upon plain grub and elbow-grease?
