update from fc5 last kernel to fc6 test 2

Hello,

I was surprised that i can't find anywhere how explains howto upgrade/update
from FC5 to FC6 ... -(maybe cause i am newbie)

maybe, ... is it possible to FC6 test 2 or i have to wait for releasing FC6 final?

i like to test FC6 test 2, but i dont want to install it from scratch ...
( i want to stay with my config files, etc...)

howto update from FC5 to Fc6 ?

using yum ? with special params?

updating any rpm file ?

thank you

The FC6Test2 installer will let you upgrade a previous installation (FC5, for example).

Otherwise, you could try enabling the following repos:
fedora-development
fedora-extras-development
fedora-updates-testing

And disabling all other repos.

If you use livna, in the livna repo file disable the main repo and enable development.

In theory you should then be able to use yum to update your system, although I have absolutely NO idea how well that would work.
