I used:

--instrepo http://tflink.fedorapeople.org/fedup/f18-upgrade/x86_64/

Got as far as 'reboot to upgrade'.  It's started reboot - but so far just seeing 
the (somewhat animated) fedora logo for several minutes.  It's either totally 
hung, or doing something.  Alt-ctrl-f1/f2 don't do anything.  Probably hung.  
I'll see after lunch what happened.
