Some may find their /boot partition too small.

I followed the instructions on http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=234019 and I came over that hurdle.

In general all the instances of "su" should be replaced with "su -".   

 This can be important because "su -" cleanly picks up all the environment  for the root account while "su" can keep lots of users specific environment and path/ PATH context.

It is recommended you run

# yum-complete-transaction

after the next reboot (which actually perform the upgrade), in order to start from a clean system.

 Also recommended (but not necessarily after an upgrade):

# package-cleanup --orphans

Or alsa type package-cleanup by itself to try all the proposed checking options.

both command are included in yum-utils package, so the only package used are:

yum, yum-utils, preupgrade

Because Grub installed in your MBR is from F11 (or previous version), you need to reinstall Grub after moving to F12 !

Otherwise, if you try to dual-boot to another distribution installed with /boot on a etx4 partition, the Grub from F11 will not be able to boot the othe partition !

 # grub-install /dev/sda
