FC8 upgrade with preupgrade-cli?

[gab10]

I have a slice on slicehost running FC8 that I need to upgrade to 10 or 11. Has anyone else done this (hopefully successfully)? Is preupgrade-cli the best way to do it and should I go right from 8 to 11 or do intermediate upgrades?

Slice is a Unix term meaning Logical Volume on their Volume Manger.
Fedora uses a /boot partition, and two Logical Volumes (slices), / and swap, minimum.

Use the F10 dvd and upgrade.
After initial upgrade(if it still works) do
setenforce 0 # actually boot the kernel line with enforcing=0 for all boots until F11 updates are done.
yum clean all
yum update yum rpm
yum update

Then do F11 dvd upgrade - it will use nodeps so there may be some garbage left over, don't worry about, just clean up what doesn't make since.

Finally, repeat updates for F11.
setenforce 0
yum clean all
yum update yum rpm
yum update

reboot into F11 with enforcing=0 one more time.
clean up. Deal with rpmnew's, diff config setting, ...
touch /.autorelabel
reboot # to relabel selinux
