OK.

Would you recommend that I just get core, updates, and extras first and then 
get third party or all third party stuff along side fc's stuff?

Has the policy of phasing out apt-rpm changed?  I moved away from it on 
the understanding the repositories are dropping support for it.

Anyway, I thought I'd suggest an alternative: copy the CDs (or set up a 
network-based install via FTP or NFS) to the server, and have it boot 
off these images (I can dig up a description on how to do this if you'd 
like).  You'll still need some kind of remote console access (I've got 
it on my Xen-based server, for example), and select text mode on boot.  

I bet, with a little testing, you could set up a kickstart to do an 
upgrade with absolutely zero user input.  From experience, basically 
any user input can be coded into the kickstart file, though I don't 
recall if I ever had it down to zero input.

Otherwise, I'd be interested in knowing how your yum-based upgrade goes.  
I've only done dist upgrades with Debian, and have always heard 
RH/Fedora people discourage the yum method.

Good luck.
