I always do a clean install and then configure using previous system configs adapted to the new system, bringing back the required parts of user and system files etc as needed. If you do a pre-upgrade presumably there is still a certain amount of work to do to get the system into working order under the new system? But is it significantly less than the work needed doing a clean install? For the F10 to F11 transition if you want the new files system(s) to be ext4 then is it even possible to do it (properly) with pre-upgrade? In my case prior to F11 I did not have a separate /boot partition - so my way to make the transition has been to modify the existing partitions to create an ext3 /boot, and then to save all user data in /opt and /home and then install allowing anaconda to reformat as ext4 partitions for root and /opt /home etc - and then copy file for /opt and /home back from backup before configuring the new system. Is pre-upgrade foolproof? What do the experts say about comparing pre-upgrade vs clean install? I keep getting popups on my F10 systems saying I can install pre-upgrade but I would prefer to just do a clean install as above and configure the new system from scratch.
