I had posted to the OP that he indeed CAN upgrade to D14 remotely
by asking the hosting company to provide him with a second drive.
Drives are rather cheap today.
He could install F14 on the 2nd drive, and add a boot selection in
FC6 's grub.conf to boot off of the second drive.
But the OP seems not to have taken this road :)
