Pretty much as the subject says, I guess...

I can't seem to find the definitive (or any) answer on the web
site. The 'Upgrading Fedora using yum' section goes through the
necessary steps using dracut. I'm assuming these steps are not
required before running preupgrade in F16?

Thanks,

I successfully upgraded to Fedora 17 using the net install
method from a bootable USB flash<br>
drive, so that definitely handles the directory rearrangements.
The only problem I had was there is no<br>
Radeon Catalyst driver for Fedora 17, and I had to revert to the
Gallium free driver, which involved<br>
some changes being made from the command prompt before the GUI
worked again. Finally I also ensured that Grub was re installed.<br>
The preupgrade is one of the methods recommended for
upgrading so I would expect it to work, but I've never really
felt happy going down that route.<br>
Whatever you choose to do, I wish you a trouble free upgrade.<br>
