PreUpgrade refused to work for me, because I keep /boot on a separate
100mb partition, and I use the CLI version (real servers don't have
GUIs) which choked on the no space error (it's a known bug). I just did
everything manually that PreUpgrade does, my server is working fine.
Next trick for me is to upgrade my server's / file system to ext4.
In my reading of the upgrade notes, you have to go F9 -> F10 -> F11
though, because there was a significant change in the RPM package format
in F11 that was only back-ported to F10, not F9.
