You can try but you can loose everything. I tried to go from FC2
to FC5 in one step and it cratered the whole thing. It will not come
up. I got most of what was important out by mounting it to another
linux and bring files and directories over.
As for FC5 I got it going but it was just too much for me. I could
not get it to work right. I am back with FC2 and happy.

Heh, didn't even try FC4? Right now it's far more stable and up to date
than FC2. I need the new features of FC5 though, so I'm sticking around
with it. :)
