Upgrade Fedora 8 to Fedora 9

[TheMixtureMedia]

HI there I know I have asked this before but I really want to use Fedora 9 Alpha but I have no idea how to upgrade to 9 from 8. I can upgrade very easily with ubuntu from 7.10 to 8.04 so I should be able to do that with Fedora. Hell I can upgrade from Windows XP to Vista so I should be able to upgrade this. I do not want to start from fresh because I have alot of stuff on this computer. Can someone please help me,

You can upgrade with the dvd when it is released. Around April or May.
Currently it is being developed and is strictly of entertainment value or cardiovascular failure depending on your personality type. :)

You can run Fedora 9 Alpha live to play with it.
You can install for multiple boot, but it is no where near a usable friendly environment.

Sure you can do this! :) But if you had to ask twice how it is done then you obviously cannot do the research and work involved in successfully running an alpha TEST release that is full of bugs. What happens when you install and you lose your mouse? Or worse yet, X? Then what? You cannot downgrade. You lose everything. You ESPECIALLY do not want to do this on a partition that you NEED and that has all your STUFF!

But, if you are bound and determined, I will give you a hint. The development repo for F8 has all the F9 stuff in it.
