Right now the easiet way is do a minimal install of the F-9 beta 
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/9-
Beta/Fedora/sparc/  then grabbing the F-10 rpm from koji 
http://sparc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=27751

then you can yum update to the F-11 based tree. 


if you want to update to rawhide then wait a few days. im going to get the 
rawhide tree uploaded this week.  its ~ 30g so will take a couple of days to 
upload
