I guess I got burned some time ago on this and once burned... i made some hundret upgardes with yum, all of them succesfull i made 3 upgrades with DVD, 2 of them did not boot i made one with preupgrade, failed and after upgrade again with DVD more work than ever so for me upgrades with YUM are since FC3 the best option and anaconda is only touched on new machines where i have no compareable because of disk sizes layout to dd-dump over ssh or simp,ly pull out a RAID-disk and resync existing and new machine the time i spent with 3 fresh upgrades to have my RAID-disk-layout as i want it or even was not possible to have /boot as first partition on all 4 drives i make 5 dist-upgrades with YUM
