Fedora 13 preupgrade test

[Chris Kloiber]

I did not use preupgrade (my /boot is just too small at 200M) but 
instead did:

# yum localinstall fedora-release-13-1.noarch.rpm --nogpg
# yum upgrade

I did this on 2 of my 3 systems both of which use the proprietary nvidia 
module and host VirtualBox instances, with selinux disabled. I left the 
rpmfusion* repositories enabled (but did have to edit the VirualBox.repo 
as they don't have a repo for "13" yet). The upgrade was near flawless 
in both cases. I had done this with RC2 images, so I did have to unscrew 
NetworkManager, but I find that minor and it looks like RC3 probably 
fixes that. Thank you!
