Live CDs cannot be used to upgrade existing systems.
As for the DVD, it does not include the updates repository when doing
upgrades (you can only add additional repositories for fresh installations),
which means the process is completely broken due to the inevitable upgrade
path issues. (You have to run "yum update" after the DVD upgrade to fix
these, and that's if yum isn't affected by the upgrade path issues, which it
sometimes is, e.g. it was for Fedora 11.) As I've already stated multiple
times, the DVD MUST be fixed to include the updates repository for upgrades
(and yes, that means offline upgrades are not possible, they're just not
supportable; and yes, if Anaconda still doesn't support any networking other
than basic wired Ethernet, that needs to be fixed, too); as is, DVD upgrades
are totally unsupportable.
