I would not recommend upgrading anyway, though from FC2 or lower it would be POSSIBLE. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'd agree with your last statement.. why bother making it so difficult on yourself, unless you enjoy hacking. (I don't mean that as a negative) If you have your /home on a separate partition, then there's really no issue installing CentOS.. simply keep the existing /home partition, and don't format it.
