I would guess that unless you find a repos using the old yum format, you'd
have to update yum first.

I've done a test upgrade of this but there are a few kinks to work out
in the process. I think 90% of the problem comes from the dev->udev
migration playing hell with devices. I'll have more information after
tomorrow or the weekend.
Right now the process is:
- download yum from fc3rc/rawhide
- download fedora-release from rawhide
- install the gpg keys for fc3 to your rpmdb
rpm --import url://of/your/gpgkeys
- update both by hand:
rpm -Uvh yum-* fedora-release*
- check your repository configuration in /etc/yum.conf and in
/etc/yum.repos.d to make sure you have the repositories you want,
configured.
- check to make sure everything is working correctly, run:
yum list updates
- You should see a huge number of packages in need of an update go by.
- Do the upgrade itself. Run:
yum upgrade
The problems I've found so far:
- dev->udev upgrade makes it impossible to open a new terminal
- it's possible the network devices are not recovering on reboot - not
sure why quite yet.
- I'm going to try and break it down a bit and upgrade in smaller chunks
to make it less oppressive to wait through that many packages being
updated.
I'm sure there will be other problems.

I could fix this by mounting /dev/pts and /dev/shm in the udev trigger
for dev. Too late for FC3-final?
probably too late. And I'm not terribly upset by making the final step
in a yum upgrade from fc2 to fc3 to be "reboot". :)

As much as I hate windoze like behavior, you already need to reboot to upgrade
the kernel. What difference does it make if there are other things going on?

Hm, it *could* be useful. We probably would want to relnote it
in any case.
