    Well I successfully upgraded to Fedora 17 using the net install
method from a bootable USB flash
drive, so that definitely handles the directory rearrangements. The only
problem I had was there is no
Radeon Catalyst driver for Fedora 17, and I had to revert to the Gallium
free driver, which involved
some changes being made from the command prompt before the GUI worked
again. Finally I also ensured that Grub was re installed.
    The preupgrade is one of the methods recommended for upgrading so I
would expect it to work, but I've never really felt happy going down
that route.
    Whatever you choose to do, I wish you a trouble free upgrade.
