I am presently triple booting windows exPee and fedora core 3 and 4. when fedora core 5 is ready I will install it in the partitions that fedora core 3 is using and then update the grub boot files. I have'nt booted into fedora core 3 in a long time. it can take a while before some of my hardware and some of the packages I like are ready so the new version takes a bit of time to build. I've never tried an upgrade a lot of the posts that I have read advise against it.
