I successfully upgraded from FC5 to FC6 by having only packages
installed using yum. Before that I always has a lot of tarball installs
on the system and then upgrading to a new release was just a disaster
every time I had tried it. Of course the upgrade to FC6 wasn't without
problems, like i586 kernel, and the upgrade breaking in the middle and
leaving a huge number of duplicate packages installed. So there was a
lot of cleanup to do. But I'm really encouraged to hear that it looks
like a FC6 - FC7 upgrade is going good without major problems (at least
on 32-bit). :-)
