Moving from 15 to 19 is not simple so a clean install was the best
option. We had the liveDVD, even transferring the version to the
existing partitions would have been better than the nothing. Once a
working F19 version was running, there is YUM to install the rest.
I don't see any reason why the live DVD cannot install itself on
existing partitions. That is all I am saying.
Of course the full DVD wouldn't let us use the old / partition. We had
to delete it and then let the installer re-create it.
Up and running with mainly minor configuration left.
