As mentioned, I tried to do a *fresh install*.
I never seriously consider upgrades.
A failed upgrade would leave me without the old and without the new.
That said, I did try to do a fresh install
of F15 followed by an upgrade to F16.
No go.  Don't remember exactly why.  It might be in the archives somewhere.
F17 would not install either.
