Difficult to install Fedora 15 to another partition directly as the 
install/rescue DVD for Fedora 15 fails to work. Although I could install 
Fedora 14 to another partition and update that.

The last reinstall of Fedora 14 was done directly from the Fedora 
repositories, (fortunately I know the required IP config).

My concern with doing another update in another partition is the need 
for a proper plan. Firstly rebooting to the updated Fedora 15 might not 
be the best course, rather booting the working Fedora 14 and then mount 
the Fedora 15 and collect its configuration information. The concern 
with a Fedora 15 boot is it may have unforeseen consequences that 
obscure the real problem. Also it might be advisable to get the 
installed packages both before and after the update. Unfortunately this 
will take at least a day to achieve. So, I'm not sure when I'll get 
round to trying it.
