I found an execellent guid on how to upgrade from FC5 to FC6 the other day. Unfortunatly I did not bookmark the site, but I did save the steps to a text file, which I will post here for future use.
Upgrade Fedora Core
yum update
yum clean all
rpm -Uhv http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-6-4.noarch.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-notes-6-3.noarch.rpm
yum -y update
yum -y update
I don’t know why I had to run yum -y update twice.
Upgrade the kernel
rpm -Uhv http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/fedora/updates/6/i386/kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.i686.rpm
