I might as well ask, even though it'll sound "stoopid" by this lists 
standards!: I am currently running Fedora 17 on my laptop, I remember 
upgrading from 14 to 15....and from 15 to 16....and then to 17, each 
time I had to re-install all my applications, their settings, and 
add-ons / extensions, only because I couldn't figure out how to upgrade 
and have everything "stay" on my system. So I am asking, _IS _there a 
way to run this "fedup" and have all my apps, and their settings / 
customizations, and add-ons remain? I realize I need to back up the 
entire system, and I have done that already, but it gets a bit wearisome 
having to re-install things all over again....just curious, and thanks 
for any help - advice given!
