FC2-test1 is the first test release of the next version of FC. Its purpose 
is for people to try it, find, then report problems which the developers 
will then fix for the next test release. There will be 3 test releases in 
total before the proper release of FC2, which is due out sometime in 
April. Most of the software is updated versions of the software shipped 
with FC1.

When you boot off your FC1 (yarrow) CD#1, it will detect that there is 
already a Linux system on the drive and will give you option to install 
afresh or update. My advice would be to do a fresh install and tell the 
installer to re-format the partitions as well (you'll be offered this 
option during the install process).
