Eventually, here:http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/LiveUpgrade

Put, basically, I do it like this:

1. Read the release notes.  Do anything required pre-upgrade.
2. Manually download and install fedora-release* rpms for the new version.
3. yum clean all
4. yum update
5. Get more coffee
6. Read /.
7. When yum is finished, reboot.
8. Clean up anything required post-install from the release notes.
9. Profit!!
