+                    You can upgrade to the latest version of Fedora manually instead of relying on <application>FedUp</application>. This involves booting the installer as if you were performing a clean installation, letting it detect your existing Fedora system, and overwriting the root partition while preserving data on other partitions and volumes. The same process can also be used to reinstall the system, if you need to. For detailed information, see <xref linkend="sect-upgrading-fedora-manual-reinstall" />.

+            Unfortunately, we have not written this chapter yet, and there is no dedicated documentation about a manual reinstall on the Wiki, either. In the meantime before we fix this, you can try to start the installation normally (from a boot CD/DVD/USB), select manual partitioning in your installer, and reuse existing partitions instead of destroying them and creating new ones. The instructions at <xref linkend="sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning" /> should in most cases be easy to adapt for this.
