What's even nicer is that you can then just swap in the proper yum.conf
files and upgrade to FC1 then FC2. Even RH8 to RH9! RedHat Enterprise
can't even do this.
I've brought a few clients current using this strategy and was able to
upgrade production servers in-place (not that I recommend it). There's
a bit of rpm -erase'ing to do where packages were discontinued, but
it's feasible and actually works.
