Hm, run what is described at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum and your downtime is minimal. Just check that you will not run out of a space in /var/cache/yum. You will need to remove few packages beforehand as otherwise dependencies will not resolve. For sure rhpl system-config-display kudzu control-center-extra if you have those installed. Removing temporary cjkuni-uming-fonts, if needed, is likely a good idea. Do not forget to force relabelling if you have SELinux on (and making it permissive before you clean things up is highly advisable). If you insist on doing that on a fresh file system then copy your installation there, chroot, adjust fstab, mount /proc and /sys, make sure that networking is on and do just the same what is above. It sound like an extra work (a boot record, layout changes, customizations to redo) but probably doable. Maybe starting with a copy of a LiveCD may reduce what you will need to transfer?
