Is-it possible to use preupgrade to upgrade a Fedora 15 Xfce spin to fedora 16 ?

Yes, simply update it using yum:

Thanks for the reply.

But why not use preupgrade ?

I upgraded 2 Fedora 15 XFCE systems to F16 using preupgrade. There were 2 issues. The first was that the entry for /bin/bash that should have been in /etc/shells was missing (double /bin/dash instead). I understand that is now fixed. The second is that the CUPS server is not starting. One can enable that easily enough with systemctl enable cups.service, which will set it to work after boot and systemctl start cups.service which will start it for the session you are currently in.

Thanks for the reply.

I have just upgraded with preupgrade and I got no problem.
It seems that the 2 problems you mentioned have been solved.
