Upgrading from Fedora Core 3 to Fedora Core 4

In anticipation of FC4 in a day or two.

Can anybody give some advice (pros and cons) on the best way of going from FC3 to FC4. Is it better to do a clean install of FC4? Or can you get away with an upgrade to FC4 from FC3 similar to upgrading versions of FC3?

Thanks!

It should be okay to upgrade with the installation cd's. YUM can work but sometimes this results in some problems depending on your configuration.

Found this informative thread that also gives some insight.

As the previous poster says, it should be fine with just an upgrade. Although some people seem to prefer the safer new install route.
