[fedora-india] Problem with Preupgrade to F14

[Suchakra]

I upgraded using Preupgrade yesterday and it worked absolutely fine.
To get rid of 'the whole preupgrade option'

1. As a root user, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and remove the
lines which are something like this :

title Upgrade to F14
root (hd*,*)
kernel /boot/upgrade/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/upgrade/initrd.img
savedefault
boot

2. Remove the directory /boot/upgrade too. I think thats it!
