To install an OS update? We're not talking day to day use here.<br>

I used fedup a couple times, and found it to be appropriately named.
It doesn't work unless you have lots of free space on the root
and/or /var partitions, and both times I used it I didn't find the
whole process particularly smooth.<br>
<br>
For the last 2-3 updates, I used yum as John described, and found
that to go much quicker, easier, and generally more smoothly. I've
never tried skipping a version, and I don't think it would be a good
idea to do so. This is a test system, so I tend to upgrade soon
after a new release. I gave up on trying to run rawhide, though,
after the system got so badly hosed after an update that it needed a
reinstall (many years ago, circa F16).<br>
