RE: latest versions

Upgrading between major releases insn't encouraged (and I don't think sup=
ported) but I believe can be done.  If you have lots of non-RH packages/s=
oftware installed I really would not recommend it.

To upgrade, boot install media and choose 'Upgrade' rather than 'Install'=
.  There may be a way to do it via up2date but I've never done it.
