You have the usual array of options. You can download media and boot from it to upgrade. You can run preupgrade. You can perform a yum upgrade. The Installation Guide has step by step details and considerations.

Adding en_US to language list

please give a release to try to pre-upgrade to

The short answer is "don't".

Pre-release is for testing/shakeout. It is possibly/likely (still) broken. Why the hell would you risk your working system with an upgrade ?.
Install it (fresh) as a separate test-only system. In my case I happen to use a completely separate box so as not to accidentally compromise my working system(s), but that personal choice/experience.

You could report your situation as a bug, but I doubt you'll get a sympathetic response.

You can try the GUI if you're not trying to upgrade a remote machine. Just 'preupgrade'. If you get the same error, there may be a problem retrieving the mirror list. Try again a in little while.

it seemed that by upgrading it with preupgrade-1.1.9-1.fc14.noarch.rpm does the trick. now i'm running f15a.
