Re: Preupgrade on Fedora-7

I just resurrected an old computer running Fedora-7.
I ran "yum update" and it successfully updated 420 packages,
amounting to 850MB.
But when I yum-installed preupgrade, and then ran preupgrade,
I got the error:

I didn't really expect preupgrade to upgrade this machine to Fedora-10;
but why is it offered if it doesn't work?
Are you running as root? Does root have access to your X-server to open
windows? (Is X11 even running?) the "$" prompt indicates that you are
running as a user.
What does running "pre-upgrade-cli" do when run from a root account?
I tried this earlier (before F10 was released) and all attempts failed
due to conflicts.
