Well, I was talking about reinstalling. There is no fedup for that.
Folks like the OP on F17 can not fedup (and have to reinstall for an
upgrade) from what I understood.
There's always preupgrade. Unlike fedup, I've never had that fail, and
would have preferred not to be forced to switch from something that
always worked to something that always fails on one of my two boxes.
Yes, the OP could preupgrade from F17 to F18. From there I think s/he
could preupgrade to F19. Once there, s/he'd need to fedup to F20, then
fedup to F21.
The important thing here is that a quantum leap from F17 to F21 really
isn't possible. One needs to upgrade one level at a time (there are
times where one could skip a step, but they were usually fraught with
issues). Skipping up four levels:
a) has never been supported in any standard upgrade mechanism,
and
b) there have been a LOT of internal changes that make such
an upgrade a bad idea.
To do this sort of thing, I'd HIGHLY recommend a full backup and a full
reinstall followed by a restore of the home directories and such the OP
is interested in. Believe me, this will help preserve the OP's sanity.
