Using the upgrade mechanisms to move to a new release of Fedora is how I upgrade.

I thought I might have had it enabled as in the past I've been in a situation where having the kernel headers installed was not good enough for a package install, I had to enable the source repository for the install to proceed (I don't remember exactly what its dependency was).Looking at things quickly, as well as the various long-named repos, there's plain Fedora with the original installation files, but individual Fedora repos for different CPU architectures, Fedora's own updates are a separate Fedora update repo. I find that things mostly "just work." The people that have trouble seem to be the ones that bodge things up themselves, and just keep painting themselves into a corner. And the ones that never to fresh installs, and find some problem caused by release upgrades over release upgrades that other people didn't (or other people just lived with, or fixed up, without saying anything about it).
That was probably me, there used to be installation media for Fedora (I going back a long time) which installed both gnome and kde together. The disappearance of that annoyed me (or at least not being able to find it anymore) as I want both installed, and I don't like having to install just the gnome version and then having to install kde from the repositories, I want to install both at the same time.In the olden days, it was often the people that insisted on installing absolutely every package, and would install mutually exclusive things, and half-baked programs that were far from ready for general use.

Steve
