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
