I agree, however it is not clear about /usr.
For Fedora 18 the 'usr' tree
should be on the root partition. I think
that's clear. See [0] and [1] for details and justification.
Anyway, how do you upgrade a fedora 16 with
/
/usr
/lib64
Honestly I would recommend a repartition and reinstall. Sorry that's
not
a great answer, it's just what I would do. I'm sure that other people on
the list can give much better ideas should you need to perform that
upgrade.
