I always think upgrading and/or updating Fedora is easy. For example,
from Fedora C3 to C4:

Assuming you have internet connection.

1.   Backup important data, if not already.
2   # rpm -Uvh 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-4-2.noarch.rpm
3.  Disable 3rd party repositories,  e.g.  dag repo ,  # echo 
"enabled=0" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo, and continue next.
There are other ways to disable, e.g. edit manually.
4.  # yum -y update kernel
5.  Disable  Selinux, e.g.  #  SELINUX=disabled, in /etc/selinux/config
6.  # shutdown -r now, to reboot the kernel to Fedora C4
7.  Continue upgrade/update with, # yum -y upgrade.
8.  Restore SELINUX to original setting and Reboot with
# shutdown -r now,  and start using Fedora Core4.
