Probably a good question for fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx, however:
1. Do you know about preupgrade ?
It pre-downloads all the metadata, rpms, boot images etc while you
continue to use Fedora, then when you are ready, you reboot into the
installer, confirm installation and before too long, you have F10 going.
And is one of the supported upgrade methods (the other being upgrade
via the dvd disk itself).
2. The Fedora wiki covers inplace live upgrades, and has some hints
and tips:

Thanks David. Yes, we know about preupgrade. What we have is a machine
that was just upgraded to F9 that will not respond to keyboard and
mouse and therefore we cannot use GUI tools. So we were just going to
move it up to F10 using the old in-place upgrade method that we'd used
for a long time. We can do this by remote login of course. But for
whatever reason we cannot get the upgrade to work. I think it might
have something to do with the transition files that were necessary
because of key issues with F9.
I just found that preupgrade has a cli version. So I force installed the
old F9 release files and we'll see how this works. But I think the old
in-place method needs to be working as well.

Gerry
