Well you to have go grab fedora-release from the latest Fedora, install 
it and then run yum upgrade and pray that it works. We havent made it 
very simple nor do we test it explicitly for every release that things 
work well after a yum upgrade.

If we make this very simple for a new user to follow, then maybe we 
wouldnt need a upgrade through live cd option. Currently, thats not the 
case.
