In any case to upgrade from Fedora 17 -> 19 you should use 'fedup'<br>
which is a great little tool that Just Works. Basically:<br>
<br>
sudo fedup --network 19<br>
<br>
and follow the instructions.<br>
<br>
For Fedora 16 you'll have to follow the instructions here:<br>

<br>
They're a bit tricky, but I've run through them many times and they<br>
do work.<br>
